Reading Jeeves and Wooster in Order

As I said in my previous post, I plan on reading the Jeeves and Wooster stories in order of publication. I'm using this Wikipedia article as a source. I'm following that articles recommendation,

An efficient method of reading the entire Jeeves canon is to read The World of Jeeves followed by the eleven novels in order of publication. The novels should preferably read in order since there is a certain amount of narrative development between them, and the later novels are essentially sequels to the early ones.

There are lots of short stories to begin with and some are republished in later works. Also, the novel The Inimitable Jeeves (1923) is a semi-novel consisting of 18 chapters originally published as 11 short stories. Matt at work is reading the novel version, I thought I'd tackle the earlier individual stories for comparison. Getting ahold of The World of Jeeves which apparently has the whole collection of short stories is no easy task; it must be out of print. I found a copy of Amazon.com for $65; seems a little steep. But I also found one at Powells for only $11 and they are shipping it from the warehouse to the Beaverton store for me. Hope it's the same book.

Anyway, here is the list in the order in which I plan to read.

• Extricating Young Gussie (1917)
