And a useful man to know if you would like a policeman's helmet.
Anyway, I can't understand why Wodehouse isn't taken seriously as a great writer and is just a "humourist". He's written around 100 books, and the 30 odd I've read have nearly all been excellent. Is it any less an achievment to write a great funny book rather than a great serious book? If so, why is PG Wodehouse streets ahead of everyone else I've read?
Another author who fell into the same "humourist" category/trap was Jerome K Jerome. If you haven't read Three Men in a Boat and Three Men on the Bummel. Brilliantly written as well as extremely humourous.
Three Men in a Boat is one of the funniest books I've read.
Couldn't recommend it enough.
Also the Reginald Perrin books by David Nobbs. funny stuff.

I took your advice and bought three men in a boat. Nearly finished it, cracking read. It's so funny.
