Paul Graham mentioned reading 'Carry on, Jeeves' on Twitter.
"Carry On, Jeeves" by P.G. Wodehouse is a collection of humorous short stories centered around the misadventures of Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves.
In each story, Bertie finds himself in a predicament, whether it's dealing with an unwanted engagement or trying to please his Aunt Dahlia. With his lovable but often misguided intentions, Bertie always manages to make a mess of things. Fortunately, Jeeves, the brilliant and resourceful valet, is always there to come to his rescue.
With clever wit and sharp dialogue, Wodehouse takes readers on a hilarious journey through the world of Bertie and Jeeves. From Bertie's attempts at matchmaking to his misadventures with eccentric friends, each story is filled with humorous mishaps and unexpected twists.
As the dynamic duo navigate these comedic situations, their contrasting personalities shine.
