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.

Delightful. I was smiling from start to finish. Wodehouse 's world is a joy to repose in.

No matter how similar the stories became, I still found myself laughing out loud as I read.

I don't know how much I can say. P.G. Woodhouse is a master at writing the upper class world between the wars. These short stories are funny, the characters are diverse in personality if not in melanin terms. You would think that you would get bored of a similar sort of formula- Bertie or one of his friends/family gets into a sticky situation which Jeeves must help them get out of- but they are different enough that you don't really notice it and just get caught up in the fantastic writing.
