The Best of Jeeves and Wooster - A Classic Collection (Unabridged)

Humor is subjective and, in the past couple of years, having given it my best shot, I find I have no taste for the British variety. I tried Billie Liar, Cold Comfort Farm, Lucky Jim, Three Men in a Boat, etc.
This is the first book in years that I gave up on before finishing it. It was my fault that I bought a collection of four books. I forced myself to finish the first one but couldn’t look at the rest.
There’s nothing wrong with Woodhouse, and his material did raise an occasional smirk, but I don’t find this stuff laugh-out-loud funny. I even watched part of one episode of the TV series but that didn’t do it either. Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams are hilarious but that’s as far as I go. I’m officially done with British humor.
Are there any funny Russian or Chinese novels?
