The Man With Two Left Feet and Other Stories by PG WodehouseFirst Published in 1917
Short Stories; Humor
4/5 stars
Source: Through Daily Lit
Summary: A collection of stories, including the first appearance in print of the characters Jeeves and Bertie Wooster.
Thoughts: I decided to give this a read because I've never read any Wodehouse and I wanted to try Daily Lit through my google reader. Unfortunately for me, it is not a method that seems to work well. Some days I wouldn't have time to read it so that the next day, I'd have two installments. Other days it seemed like I had forgotten what I had read before. I think I really do better when I have the whole text before me, whether it's an ebook or a real book. That was also part of my problem with audiobooks.
Overall: The stories were pretty easy reads and there were some delightfully funny bits sprinkled throughout. I can't choose a favorite but I can recommend that you give it a try.
Cover: I didn't have a cover since I read this through Daily Lit but I believe this picture fits at least one of the stories and I think it's quite attractive.
I read this at dailylit.com also-I enjoyed the prose style a lot
