After accidentally listening to one of the last Jeeves and Wooster novels, The Tie That Binds, my partner and I picked next to listen to some of the first Jeeves stories in My Man Jeeves through the library's audiobook selection. A consistently riotous time was had by all.

Collecting some Jeeves and Wooster stories and a surprising number of "Reggie Pepper" stories, My Man Jeeves showed off Wodehouse's sparkling short story skills. Something about reading Wodehouse makes me feel like I'm getting away with something, just as the characters are. I have too much fun reading/listening to them. Though the stories take place in the 1920s, they're full of the humor, splashdash, and casual male homoerotica that I'd love to see more of today. If I had one quibble, it would be that the plots are rote after awhile: Situation, Unexpected Complication 1, Unexpected Complication 2, and Very Unexpected Complication 3, and Surprising Solution. But overall I didn't mind, so long as Bertie continues his silly banter and Jeeves swoops in.

Wodehouse is a humorous classic delight and my only regret is not reading him sooner. Onward, Jeeves, to the next book!
