Bertie Wooster and Jeeves may be the most well-known Wodehouse characters, but Psmith is the dreamiest.
(Why, yes. I do have a plethora of literary crushes.)
If you've never read Leave it to Psmith, you must. It's actually the last Psmith book, but it's my favorite.
I mean it, you know. It's a must read.
It's even set at Blandings Castle, with Lord Emsworth and Freddie and the Empress and features the downfall of the Efficient Mr. Baxter*. (He comes back.)
You should probably read all of the Blandings stories, too.
*Who will probably end up with his own shirt, actually. He's just so awful. I love him.
OMG. Italic Pstencils?!? You are quite Psomething!

Leave it to Psmith is the only Wodehouse book I've read, but I LOVED it. And I so would wear that t-shirt....
Do you know where I could find a list of the correct order of the Psmith books?

The Wikipedia article about Psmith has the list.

I hadn't thought of it before now, but I do believe Psmith was my *very first* literary crush.
