favorite books?

hullo, everyone! :]]]

i'm a pretty long time lurker who's just now de-lurked, but that isn't really important. rather, i'm posting now because i'd like your opinions-- i plan on buying a few more jeeves books (i already own Code of the Woosters, Jeeves in the Morning and Jeeves and the Tie that Binds) now that i have some birthday money, and i want to know which ones are your favorites, and why, to help me decide what to get.

See if you can get some more of the short-story collections. They're great fun, and it's interesting to see how PGW's style of writing evolves from the early short stories into the later novels.

I would get The Inimitable Jeeves and Carry On, Jeeves, on the grounds that short story collections--and first volumes of favorite series--are nice to have around.

I have a soft spot for the Inimitable Jeeves, it's the first Jeeves book I ever read when I was a kid.

If you don't mind venturing out of Jeeves, I really adored 'Leave it to Psmith.' And I'm having a blast reading 'Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves' right now.

Yep, I'm all for branching out. I'd get any of the Psmith books, however, "Psmith, Journalist" is my favorite.

But there's also "Aunts Aren't Gentlemen," which is a lot of fun.

I checked which one of my current Jeeves' has most 'ears' on the pages and it isssss...


Thank you, Jeeves.

Yes, I 'bookmark' all my favorite parts, I think I'm ruining these books.
I just bought a huge 'omnibus' names 'the world of Jeeves' short stories if I'm not mistaken.

Joy in the Morning, and The Inimitable Jeeves

The Code of the Woosters!

Yes, I say Jeeves (or Joy) in the morning is my fav.

I just finished reading the Inimitable Jeeves and I think it's the best I've read so far! Hilarious, great plot AND multiple squee-worthy Jooster moments ^^

*gasp* No votes for Right Ho, Jeeves? Not sure if it's my all-time favourite, but it is certainly the most memorable. :D

I was about to rec the same one. It's always been my favourite - the bicycle ride scene alone is one of the best pieces of comedy ever written.
