Do you like those comedies? I like reading Jeeves and many other books written by Wodehouse. What do you think of his style of writing? Do you find his books boring, average or funny?

PG Wodehouse's books are wonderful. They are completely light and should not be taken seriously. Although he does introduce a plot into them, it is completely incidental as the whole purpose of the books is to let the words flow over you. Rarely has anyone had as good a command of the English language as Wodehouse. The best ones are the ones he wrote early on, around 1920.
