The Code of the Woosters
by P.G. Wodehouse
How is this not more of the thing??
The show Archer borrows from this series, we get the idea of "Jeeves the butler" from this series, the comedy still sticks the landing ~80 years after publication...
...and no one is talking about this?!??!
Wodehouse's Jeeves series follows Bertie Wooster and his butler (Jeeves) as they get themselves in and out of all sorts of ridiculous situations. Though The Code of the Woosters makes reference to antics in previous installations (it is #7 in the series, after all), it does not detract from the reader's enjoyment. In fact, it just adds to the hilarity.
From the opening sentence when Bertie is rudely awakened by a terrible hangover, to the driving plot of cow creamer, his best mate's upcoming nuptuals, a little brown book, and some newts, I never stopped chuckling. I've been running through the streets ever since grabbing people by the lapels and shouting in their face "WHY AREN'T YOU READING THIS!??!" They may think I've lost my mind (also my adoption of saying "pip pip" randomly doesn't seem to be catching on...) but the book really is just that good.
