Jeeves in the Offing
by P.G. Wodehouse
Wodehouse is NOT easy to start reading.
The writing style and this unassuming hilarity requires time getting used to. But once you do, it is an absolute treat!
This was my first P G Wodehouse, and it came to me at a time I needed comedy the most. Having given up on it once before, because of the alien writing style (alien only because I wasn't used to it), I forced myself to get through the first 10 chapters and boy was I surprised how quickly I got sucked into the mystery of the cow-creamer disappearance and eagerly flicking through the pages, rooting for Kipper all through his endlessly hilarious tragedies in this book.
However, considering Wooster's non-stop sacrifices and damage control, and the fact that Jeeves only made a guest appearance, the book's name is definitely a misnomer for me.
For fans of the grandeur of the roaring twenties of England, snooty tea parties and magnificent estate houses, Wodehouse is your one-stop-shop.
For me, he is like the lovechild of Julian Fellows and David Sedaris. The BEST goddamned hypothetical family ever.
