I think it's an outrage that Psmith isn't universally recognized as the best Wodehouse character. Psmith's in his own category at the top. Then there's the second tier which includes Bertie, Jeeves, Ukridge, and Uncle Fred (hope I'm not leaving anyone out). Third tier is Gally, Emsworth and one off characters like Piccadilly Jim. The Mulliner stories are some of the best, but you can't say the Mulliner character himself much qualifies.
Favourite character - Bertie Wooster
Favourite novel - It's not a novel but a short story - The Crime Wave at Blandings.
Exit, pursued by a bear.
Favourite character - Steggles, the Moriaty to Jeeves' Sherlock Holmes.
Favourite novel - can't remember, but one of my favourite chapters was written from Jeeve's point of view in which Bertie Wooster is manipulated into making an off-the-cuff speech for assembly at a girls' school. I also like the chapter in another book where Steggles and Jeeves take opposing bets at a school sports day.
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.
Charles Dickens, by George Orwell
Character: Wooster, closely followed by Jeeves. (It's a bit like chosing between Laurel and Hardy.)
Novel: The Inimitable Jeeves. Sometimes considered a short story collection, but there is one big storyline, so I would call it a novel.
