Wodehouse is 87 years old and has written about a million books. Or else, he is about a million years old and has written 87 books. Either way, the figures are amazing." Read "Leave it to Psmith". I think it is one of his best. In Psmith, you can see the beginnings of a number of future Wodehouse characters, including Jeeves. I also recently read (but can't remember the author or exact title), a "biography" of Jeeves. It was quite good, but is best read AFTER you have devoured a large amount of Wodehouse, or you will miss a lot of the references. =Spencer
