Just Stab Me Now

Just Stab Me Now by Jill Bearup

Very Good, Jeeves!

Very Good, Jeeves! by P.G. Wodehouse

Short stories of hijinks.

Comedies of resolving engagements. Dealing with kids, who are the usual Wodehouse brats. The martial life of Bingo Little. Once, Bertie is even in a romance that Jeeves has to deal with.

Carry On, Jeeves

Carry On, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

A collection of Jeeves stories.

Starting with the one where Bertie hires him, and is extracted from an unwise engagement against his will. More merry hijinks.

Skip the last, "Bertie Changes His Mind." Like Sherlock Holmes, Jeeves does not make a good viewpoint character.

The Inimitable Jeeves

The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

The second Jeeves book. Which actually means, in this case, that the characters have reached their full form.

A number of stories. Many about Bingo Little's disastrous love-life, gambling, or Bertie's incorrigible cousins Claude and Eustace. His aunt attempts to marry off Bertie a couple times and once he is even engaged, but Jeeves manages to handle those with the rest.
