Love Among the Chickens, P.G. Wodehouse | 153 pages
The farcical tale of Jeremy Garnet, an author and an old friend of Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, an erstwhile chicken farmer. Upon meeting Ukridge for the first time in years, Garnet finds himself enmeshed Ukridge's new and struggling chicken farm. Garnet soon falls in love with a girl living near the estate as he struggles with the farm and with Ukridge's bizarre business methods. Originally published in 1906.
Wodehouse is just SO SILLY. Pure chaos from beginning to end. It's not quite as absurd as the Psmith novels (which is hard to say when the setting is literally a gentleman chicken farm!) and the ending just didn't quite land for me, but Wodehouse can always be counted on for good fun.
