You would think, but sometimes one is given books by relatives who have no idea who Wodehouse is just because they have one's RL name in the title. :P

(sometimes one failed out of Jeeves & Wooster in about chapter 2 due to embarrassment squick and got rid of all of one's Wodehouse except the one with one's name in the title that was a gift from a relative.)

I did manage to enjoy, um, it must have been Enter Psmith, and a lot of Jeeves & Wooster pastiche, so I have a idea of what a Wodehouse novel probably involves, but I know nothing about the specifics of that one or whether it's one of his that will actually work for me, I literally only own it for the title.

(The one that probably is a cheat is Breakfast at Tiffany's, which I only own because of the song, but I am aware that the song is named after the movie named after the book and not the reverse.)
