My go-to writer in bad times and good times and all the times in between. If you love witty humour, try it. Or start with the TV show with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (although there are so many funny things in those stories that can’t be done on screen)
I’ve always heard Wodehouse mentioned in the context of other authors like Pratchett and Adams.
What book would you recommend as a good starter?
I think you can pretty much hop in anywhere, they’re loosely connected with a few recurring characters but most of them are pretty self-contained. But the Jeeves & Wooster ones are the classics so maybe that? I’m also partial to the Psmith stories myself (the p is silent, as in pshrimp.)
I do quite enjoy Wodehouse for Jeeves and Wooster and Blandings although one unemployed summer spent a lot of time binge reading them and they become quite repetitive!
I’d agree that you can’t binge on them - best to just read one in between longer books.
