The Code of the Woosters
Fiction / Humor
A canonical Jeeves-and-Wooster novel: silver cow-creamers, fascist newt-fanciers, and sentences that don't waste a syllable. Graham reads Wodehouse for the prose itself — distracted, he says, by the perfection of it.

Tweet from October 2014. Graham has said elsewhere that Wodehouse is one of his models for clean prose; this title is the canonical Jeeves novel for newcomers.
