Empress Michiko and Jeeves



A couple of weeks ago, in her birthday interview, Empress Michiko stated that she wanted to read the Jeeves books by P.G. Wodehouse after she retired. There are about 30 short stories and 11 novels in what is known as the Jeeves series. Since her interview and unintentional recommendation, thousands of Japanese have sought out the series at their bookstores and local publisher Kokusho stated their telephones would not stop ringing after the Empress spoke about the series. 


Have you read any of the Jeeves stories?  Which are your favorites?  I love them all!
