68. The Inimitable Jeeves (P. G. Wodehouse)

Cover of first edition

Synopsis from Amazon:
Bingo has a big problem when it comes to love: He loves too much and too many. Leave it to lovable butler Jeeves to take matters into his own hands and cover all the bases, so to speak.

My rating: 5 stars

My review: The chapters "The Great Sermon Handicap" and "The Purity of the Turf" have to be two of the funniest chapters in English literature (perhaps all of literature).

  • 1923 (17.5.1923)
  • Herbert Jenkins in London
