Editing Jeeves (section)

=== Hobbies ===

Jeeves often reads intellectual, "improving" books, including the works of [[Baruch Spinoza|Spinoza]], [[Shakespeare]], and "[[Fyodor Dostoevsky|Dostoevsky]] and the great Russians".<ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1971], ''Much Obliged, Jeeves'', chapter 7, p. 72. Bertie says, "'You want me to recommend you a good book? Well, of course, it depends on what you like. Jeeves, for instance, is never happier than when curled up with his Spinoza or his Shakespeare.'"</ref><ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1954], ''Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit'', chapter 1, p. 11. "'My personal tastes lie more in the direction of Dostoevsky and the great Russians.'"</ref> He also enjoys the works of romance novelist [[Rosie M. Banks]],<ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1923], ''The Inimitable Jeeves'', chapter 1, p. 19.</ref> and regularly reads ''[[The Times]]'', which Bertie occasionally borrows to try the crossword puzzle.<ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1960], ''Jeeves in the Offing'', chapter 2, p. 25.</ref> In "[[Jeeves in the Springtime]]", he went dancing in Camberwell, where he was seen by Bertie's friend Bingo Little. Bingo says that he saw Jeeves "swinging a dashed efficient shoe".<ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1923], ''The Inimitable Jeeves'', chapter 1, p. 15.</ref> Once a week, Jeeves takes the afternoon off to play [[contract bridge|bridge]] at his club, the Junior Ganymede.<ref>Wodehouse (1968) [1966], ''Plum Pie'', chapter 1, p. 32.</ref>

One of Jeeves's hobbies is fishing, which he tends to do during his annual summer holiday, typically taken at [[Bognor Regis]]. Bertie sees him fishing in ''[[Joy in the Morning (Wodehouse novel)|Joy in the Morning]]''.<ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1947], ''Joy in the Morning'', chapter 20, p. 184.</ref> Appreciating travel in general, Jeeves wants to go on a cruise in two different stories, "[[The Spot of Art]]" and ''[[The Code of the Woosters]]''. Jeeves claims that travel is educational, though Bertie suspects that Jeeves has a Viking strain and "yearns for the tang of the salt breezes".<ref>Wodehouse (2008) [1938], ''The Code of the Woosters'', chapter 1, p. 9.</ref> Jeeves occasionally enjoys gambling, which is the reason he wishes to go to Monte Carlo in "[[Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit]]".
