Leave It to Psmith by P.G. Wodehouse
5.0

I've never read another of Wodehouse's Psmith books, but this is also a sequel to Something Fresh, which I loved. Something Fresh introduces the inhabitants and shenanigans of Blandings Castle and had a bunch of people competing to obtain a valuable object, while also featuring a lovely romance. Leave It to Psmith repeats the formula with enough difference to keep it from feeling repetitive. And of course the real draw is Wodehouse's prose itself, which is light and hilarious.

My problem now is deciding whether to read the next Blandings book (a collection of short stories called Blandings Castle) or go back and start the beginning of Psmith's adventures with Mike and Psmith.
