Books: Anything by P.G. Wodehouse

If you are searching for literary humor, look no further. P.G. Wodehouse will keep you entertained with complicated conundrums and amusing metaphors. Not convinced? Try reading these quotes without at least a chuckle:
"I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled, so I tactfully changed the subject." 
 from The Code of the Woosters  
"He had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life's gas-pipe with a lighted candle; of one whom the clenched fist of Fate has smitten beneath the temperamental third waistcoat-button." 
― from "The Man Who Disliked Cats" in The Man Upstairs
“There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'""The mood will pass, sir.” 
― from The Code of the Woosters
I enjoyed The Code of the Woosters, but would recommend starting with some of Wodehouse's short stories. 

Have you read anything by P.G. Wodehouse? What are your favorites?
