How is it physically possible for a book to be so funny?

It's time for the annual Easter Jeeves & Wooster instalment! Great stuff as always, in exactly the line of light and humorous expected for the start of Spring. Bertie Changes His Mind from the Jeeves POV was a weird one, likely to skip in future

There is no one like Jeeves. Nor—and I believe his contingent of aunts would agree—is there anyone like B. Wooster. And as for the inimitable Mr. Wodehouse, (whose head, to have come up with plots of this thickness, must have stuck out at the back like billy-o) words fail me. A pippin of a book.

I love the Jeeves stories so much oh my god. So funny!!! Bertie’s such a sweet hapless lazy piece of work, and Jeeves is a secret mega-bitch — the perfect recipe for a perfect pair!

It's wonderful to have all the Jeeves stories in one place. This'll be a wonderful, late night, bedside reader for years to come. Just plain fun!

Oh, there are some stories here that did not age well but as a whole, I was still able to enjoy Wooster's antics and Jeeves' genius. While these are incredibly formulaic, the way each little incident resolves is always funny and unique, which makes it easy to keep going back for more.
