I adore how 'Thank You, Jeeves' is such a love story! They're split up and you spend the whole book hoping they'll get back together, lol! The best bit of all is when Bertie encounters Jeeves at Chuffy's house and is so excited to see him again that he asks Jeeves if he can play him 'What Is This Thing Called Love?' on the banjolele. It's just ripping, lol.
Oh, yes,
Thank You, Jeeves is excellent! I love it, I should really re-read it again sometime.
Reading them in chronological order sounds like a great idea. I should try that sometime... because I've read many of the books but not all of them, and sometimes I forget which ones I've read and try and read a "new" one and it turns out I've already read it. But usually by that time I'm about halfway through, since they're so easy to read, and because some bits of plot are common across various Jeeves stories... and so then I end up just re-reading the whole thing anyway.
I get what you mean about promiscuous reading, too. Right now I'm actually between books, but I've been trying to read/re-read all the Miss Marple novels in chronological order,
and I want to re-read the first Raffles book,
and I'm thinking about heading to the library later to get out some books about the history of domestic service that I flipped through earlier in the week,
and I have a pile of assorted books here that I haven't read but keep picking up and reading bits of..... ack! Too many books! Sometimes I think it would be more convenient to be an alien with five heads and ten arms, so I could read multiple books at once. It's hard to stick with just one, sometimes.
