Oh, there are some stories here that did not age well but as a whole, I was still able to enjoy Wooster's antics and Jeeves' genius. While these are incredibly formulaic, the way each little incident resolves is always funny and unique, which makes it easy to keep going back for more.

Perfect farcical wodehouse prose, all the shorts handily together, only requiring 3 googles and a wiki to find the best reading order.

I got tired of seeing this on my "currently reading" list. It's a book I turn to from time to time to read a couple of stories, plus it's really thick, so I don't expect to finish it anytime soon.

It's full of Jeeves stories by P.G. Wodehouse, so it's excellent.
