The Code of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse
4.0
Every. Single. Word. - or at least every single phrase - in this book is Funny.
This is my first Wodehouse, or rather, I once tried to read a Wodehouse in Czech, when I was a kid, and didn't get it/enjoy it. But definitely my first Wodehouse as it was intended to be read, with maybe a bit getting lost in translation of time, but at least not a bit getting lost in translation.
I decided to read this particular book because it was mentioned in a podcast featuring two of my favourite comedians: Craig Ferguson and Stephen Fry. And their recommendation didn't disappoint.
I just wish reading this hadn't been so darn stressful! I'm gonna re-read it one day, only purely for the comedy, for all the witty words - without getting anxiety from all the twists and turns. Yep, one day!
