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.)
Would love to hear this as well.
I love Pratchett and now I've been reminded to read Wodehouse again. I did get the Woodhouse Ultimate Collection a couple of years ago, so I guess I better get started on it after I finish my current book.
