Do you have a book in mind?

Actually, I don't. I am pretty much willing to read any one of them!! I just think it would be fun to read with them with other people. :)

Hi,
I think the original novel was 'Mike' and it was later split into two separate books: 'Mike at Wrykyn' and 'Mike and Psmith'. With the second volume, Wodehouse moved from the school-boy ripping yarns that he had been writing to the more adult comedy he is generally known for. So be aware, if you choose to read 'Mike', good and enjoyable as it is, until the appearance of Psmith half way through you may not feel as though you are reading the Wodehouse we all know and love.

Hope this helps.

thanks, it helps to clarify that 'Mike' includes 'Mike and Psmith' . My understanding is that the two smaller books were published separately, and later combined into the 'Mike' edition from 1953.
