I keep meaning to pick up a copy of Ring for Jeeves. I've had it on my Amazon list for over a year. (Of course, back then, I thought it meant an Actual Wedding Ring for Jeeves, lol.)
I imagine Ring for Jeeves is just as interesting as "Bertie Changes His Mind" as someone mentioned previously. I've spoken with other folks about this thing that sometimes happens in popular serials, where the author attempts to diverge from the expected narrative canon and the audience sometimes balks. Doyle did it too; one single short story is narrated from Holmes' POV, and I think one or two in 3rd person, but otherwise it's Watson all the way because it's what the audience feels most comfortable with.
Dang. I need to read this book. I don't suppose anyone has a copy that they'd be willing to lend/trade?
