Wherein We Elect Our Favourite Novel Of The 1920's

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wharton a surprise, but I guess she already won one of these.

Glad I went with Breton

Could I read the Psmith novels in any order like the Jeeves series?

Yes.

Psmith first appears as a secondary character in some hard-to-find early Wodehouse novels that center around a fictional English public school called Wryken which spend most of their attention on a clean, upstanding young cricket player named Tom. By accident my first Wodehouse novel was Mike at Wryken, because my local public library had an ancient re-bound copy and most of the other Wodehouse were checked out. Later on Wodehouse realized Psmith was pure gold and started to feature him in novels of his own. I'm glad I first glimpsed him in his embryonic form.

Go with "Leave it to Psmith" first, it really is wonderful and stands alone. The others are lesser but still fun, especially "Psmith, Journalist".

Checked it out of the library.

it's also a Blandings Castle novel, which is a rich seam to say the least

My assumption is that everything from the mid-1910s up to (and including) "Joy in the morning" is worth checking out, and everything that comes after is... variable. I haven't read "Mating Season" though.

I enjoyed Uncle Fred In Springtime. Uncle Fred is to the manor born, and alarmingly wants to help, thus approaching a Bizarro World Jeevesdom.
