I've long been a fan of P. G. Wodehouse, but my main exposure has always been the Jeeves and Wooster stories. Recently, though, I've been exploring his other novels and have found them to be brilliantly funny.
What is so admirable in his writing is the effortless way that the scene descriptions unfold with the maximum gentle release of suspense for comic effect, and the little throw-away clauses tacked on to the main sentences that communicate so much.
I'm currently reading the Lord Emsworth short stories, which are just the right length to be read over a lunchtime break.
Definitely worth reading!
