An efficient method of reading the entire Jeeves canon is to read The World of Jeeves followed by the eleven novels in order of publication. The novels share a certain amount of sequential narrative development between them, and the later novels are essentially sequels to the earlier ones.

Jeeves is such a favourite of mine! However I frequently get the books muddled up and am never certain which ones I've read and which ones I haven't, so I probably haven't read all eleven. Should probably get around to that.
You're right. It does get a little messy, the guy wrote like a monster!
(Wikipedia) The Jeeves "canon" consists of 35 short stories and 11 novels. With minor exceptions, the short stories were written and published first (between 1915 and 1930); the novels later (between 1934 and 1974).
And some short stories were published multiple times in different books. Some books were published multiple times under different names. So, The World of Jeeves has all the short stories, and the novels you can read separately.
You can find all the names and stuff here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeeves#Stories and a simple google can lead you to the books, since the copy rights are long expired.
You're welcome :)
