I've got about 50 of his 71 novels. For sure they're entertaining, well constructed and the use of language is delightful.
There's something you notice if you read a whole lot of Wodehouse in quick succession: I'd estimate that there are about 20 plots among the ones I've read -- that is to say, the same situations, characters and plot devices are reused often, and if you removed the redundancy, you'd end up with about 20 novels. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
There's also only one chapter order, which the great man used in every single book: 2 follows 1, 3 follows 2, etc. I can't remember even a flashback? I don't think his interests extended to that. He wrote sentences, paragraphs, not much more.
I have 15-20, my favourite is an unusual one, I think: French Leave.
