Customer #1: Thank you, Jeeves is the definition of a “feel good” read. Bertie Wooster, the well intentioned but crisis prone British Gentleman, and his faithful valet Jeeves have a falling out over Bertie’s refusal to desist from playing his banjolele. Irritated over the loss of Jeeves, Bertie goes to stay at a friend’s country cottage and a complicated and HILARIOUS series of events transpire. The dialogue is quick, crisp, dry and quintessentially British and will keep a smile on your face throughout. A classic of comedy literature.
Customer #2: The "Jeeves, That's Funny" Happy Package is the greatest thing since Doc Bottoms Aspray and I use it almost as much. After working out with my ShakeWeight, I love to Slap Chop some veggies, curl up in my Snuggie and read Thank You, Jeeves and for just a little while, forget about my failed hopes and dreams.
Customer #3: Being a crack whore keeps me very busy and doesn't leave me a lot of time for book shopping.

PG Wodehouse has been on my list of authors to read for ages, and my only complaint is that I waited so long to give him a try. Before picking up Thank You, Jeeves, I had read several of the short stories that introduced the world to the indomitable literary pairing of Bertram Wooster and his faithful valet Jeeves. From the first page of the earliest story, Extricating Old Gussie, I knew I had found a series that would give me endless hours of cozy, friendly entertainment in the months andMore tales of woe for Bertie Wooster, but this time he's on his own with no Jeeves to get him out of the soup. Perhaps that's why I felt this volume - though probably as good as the rest - didn't quite resonate the way others have. Wooster without Jeeves is like Laurel without Hardy, Abbot sans Costello. The reason these books work is that they are a duo, they play off of one another. Wooster needs Jeeves, and in a way, Jeeves needs Wooster...at least for comedic purposes. But the good thing
EXCERPT: About three months before, noting a certain liveliness in my Aunt Agatha, I had deemed it prudent to pop across to New York for a space to give her time to blow over. And about halfway through my first week there, in the course of a beano of some description at the Sherry-Netherland, I made the acquaintance of Pauline Stoker. She got right in among me. Her beauty maddened me like wine. THE BLURB: Thank You, Jeeves is the first novel to feature the incomparable valet Jeeves and his
A guy told his friend, "Can you imagine the nerve of my neighbor? He was knocking on my wall non-stop at midnight. Luckily I was not asleep at the time: I was playing trombone".The joke above is very appropriate as the book starts with Bertie Wooster trying to learn to play banjo. Not surprisingly the result was his neighbors complaining (see the joke above; some people have no appreciation for music) and his landlord kicking the poor guy out of his flat. Bertie decided to go to a countryside
Not everyone appreciates the banjolele. Sadly for Bertie Wooster, Jeeves is among those who are quite fed up with his newest hobby. After getting hit with a noise complaint from his neighbors and being deserted by his butler, Bertie heads out to the country to continue to strum his instrument.Of course, everything happens to make that utterly impossible as he gets caught up in one hysterical mishap after another. This is one of the funnier Jeeves titles and definitely worth reading is you're a
For the past couple of years, the name P. G. Wodehouse kept popping up in interviews and articles about some of my favorite people (most notably Hugh Laurie and Neil Gaiman, among others). They praised him as THE master of British comedy. Since I admittedly like my comedy British, I decided it was time to give Wodehouse a try. The thing with Wodehouse is that he creeps up on you. During the first few chapters, I thought, "What's all the fuss about?" There is some admittedly clever language and
