Carry On, Jeeves

I really like these stories. This collection has some of the same stories as My Man Jeeves. I listened to the audiobook read by Frederick Davidson, and he was great.

It's still amazing to me that these were first published in 1916. I don't know enough about that era to know if some of the situations that seem bizarre to me as a modern reader were real or not, but everything is always very funny. Wikipedia says that the Palace of Beauty in “The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy” was a real thing, though! I especially enjoyed the last story, “Bertie Changes His Mind,” which is in Jeeves' point of view, so we got to see a little of Jeeves' careful planning.

Like The Inimitable Jeeves (book 2, according to Goodreads, haha), this one reads as a collection of stories that follow each other in a sensible manner (and many of those stories also appear in the show/in other collections, in my experience). The final story, “Bertie Changes His Mind,” is from Jeeves' perspective. Honestly, that alone is worth reading the book! ;)
