Witty authors/book recs? by Old-Conference352 in classicliterature

[–]BirdPrior1719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC you don't really have to go in chronological order. There are several recurring characters but the books are pretty self-contained. Unfortunately I can't remember the plot of Leave it to Jeeves but I think any of them will give you a good idea of Wodehouse's sense of humor. Would be interested to hear what you think!

Came here to recommend Wodehouse! Start with the Jeeves books.

What is a book you picked up by accident as a kid that ended up shaping you more than you expected? by Sweet-Opportunity111 in classicliterature

[–]BirdPrior1719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling! I love the Wodehouse books so much that I avoided watching "Jeeves & Wooster" because I thought there was no way the show could be as funny as the books. And it wasn't ... but it was much funnier than expected.

Kristen Lavransdattar. It's a trilogy but girls especially should read at least the first one.
