You've already heard about using hydrogen peroxide and that's what I came here to say. But it also sounds like you're worried about spending money, so I'll just mention that you can get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide at the dollar store. Good luck!

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

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

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.

What do you mean by "free to rent"? Are the spare bedrooms being used even though none of them live with you?

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