My go-to writer in bad times and good times and all the times in between. If you love witty humour, try it. Or start with the TV show with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (although there are so many funny things in those stories that can't be done on screen)

Also got turned on to Wodehouse via Salmon. When I started into Psmith after exhausting Bertie & Jeeves, it felt really similar to going from HHGG to Dirk Gently. I often wonder how many Python-era comedy writers were weaned on P.G.
