I myself have just recently been introduced to Wodehouse, and Love It already. He wrote stories and books about characters in british society in the 20's. His books are very funny and guite absurd. I am currently in a play based on one of his short stories. Just wondering if there are any other fans out there.

FINALLY! A fellow Wodehouse fan!
I LOVE Wodehouse's stories. I love his Jeeves and Wooster stories, but I've recently been reading his Mr. Mulliner tales and have found them to be just as hilarious. What's great is that they're all clean humor, but they make me laugh harder than most anything else.
Have you ever seen the Jeeves and Wooster TV series? It's really quite good, although the last series has some bad episodes. There's also a series called Wodehouse Playhouse which does the stories in more of a farcical style but it is also reasonably good.
Oh, and on a side note, Mr. Wodehouse has the same birthday as I do (October 15th), which is really quite cool...

Woodhouse is great. There was a televised mini-series based on "Porterhouse Blue", that was hilarious.

Jeeves and Wooster are great! I have only seen about four episodes, but I really like them. I havent read any of his Mr. Mulner stuff yet. Have any of you read his stories about Blandings Castle?

No, I haven't. Is that the series with Lord Emsworth in it? I'm told stories with him are really hilarious as well, but I haven't read any yet...

yes, they are the ones with lord emmsworth. In fact, I am playing the part of lord emmsworth in the play I am about to be in. I would highly suggest the story "crimewave at blandings" it is in the collection of short stories "Lord Emmsworth and Others"

Ahh, love it!!! Whenver I get too serious, I go to the library and check out Uncle [something] in the Spring Time or something like that. It never fails to cheer me up and make my sides hurt...

Whodehouse rocks, but I like his Balndings Castle stories more than Berite and Jeeves.
'Summer Lightning' is hilarious.

Blandings is great. I had the wonderful opertunity of playing Emsworth in an adaptation of the short story "Crimewave at Blandings." We were going to take it into a competition, but it was postponed because of a snow storm, and half the cast couldnt make it because of a mission trip to Nicaragua.

I'm reading 'Young Men in Spats' now and it's hysterical.
