false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166722760m/16379.jpg 16379 1 P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) is an English-born storyteller and journalist who came to America before World War I and sold a serial to the Saturday Evening Post, where most of his books first appeared. Though Wodehouse wrote more than 90 books and 20 film scripts, and collaborated on more than 30 plays and musical comedies, he is perhaps best known as the creator of the gentlemanly character Jeeves, "that subtle master of prudence, good taste, and ineffable composure." This three-part edition will delight newcomers to Wodehouse as well as those already familiar with his "sunny universe and sparkling prose." Let the reader beware: unless you are the kind of person who enjoys being stared at, do not attempt to read anything by P. G. Wodehouse in public. If you do, you'll soon find yourself an object of interest on the bus, plane or train as you attempt to stifle guffaws or end up accidentally swallowing your tongue in a useless effort to squash that belly-laugh. Wodehouse is, quite simply, one of the funniest men on the planet, and this latest compendium of his work, <I>Life with Jeeves</I>, is Wodehouse at his best. <P> Here you'll find Bertie Wooster, a complete gentleman, but the first to admit he's a bit of a chump; his valet, Jeeves, infinitely sagacious, the source of all solace; and a wild collection of terrifying aunts, miserly uncles, love-sick friends, female authors, crusading communists, troublesome cousins, cantankerous dogs, unwanted fiancés and more-all bound up in plots as impossibly labyrinthine as they are laugh-out-loud funny. 18085 book 29 9 1983 Life with Jeeves total:1066|5:530|4:418|3:108|2:6|1:4| 1066 4662 1376 66 16379 0140059024 9780140059021 1066 66 4.37 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166722760m/16379.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16379.Life_with_Jeeves 5 3 false Tue Oct 30 23:11:40 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 18 21:29:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> 16379 0140059024 9780140059021 1066 66 4.37 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166722760m/16379.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16379.Life_with_Jeeves 3 1 false Thu Mar 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 15 08:08:48 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 15 05:50:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 16379 0140059024 9780140059021 1066 66 4.37 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166722760m/16379.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16379.Life_with_Jeeves 5 2 false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 13:23:42 -0700 2007 Sat Dec 01 20:42:20 -0800 2007 more...]]> 16379 0140059024 9780140059021 1066 66 4.37 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166722760m/16379.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16379.Life_with_Jeeves 5 1 false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Jun 12 13:27:46 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 12 13:39:04 -0700 2007
