P.G. Wodehouse is all those things. Code of the Woosters is probably my favourite, also very fond of Thank You, Jeeves, Luck of the Bodkins, Something Fresh, Leave it to Psmith, Sam the Sudden, Hot Water, Spring Fever. There are many others.
I would choose PG Wodehouse as well. ‘The Indiscretions of Archie’ is one to add to the list. I think that Archie may be the character that later evolved into his Bertie Wooster.
I’d recommend Terry Pratchett’s books. Not all of them are light, but they are smart and funny. I’d recommend starting with Good Omens (Neil Gaiman&Terry Pratchett), then get to his Death series (Mort, The Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, The Thief of Time) and Witches series (Equal Rites, Witches abroad, Wyrd sisters, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade, Carpe Jugulum)… These two series were my introduction to the Discworld and I love them.

Indeed!

Hitchhiker’s Guide if you like fantasy at all. Very dry humor. I love it.
Definitely good! I’ve read that one already!
Oh good! Maybe try Good Omens by Niel Gaimen and Terry Prachet then!
The Rosie Project, The 100 year old man who jumped out of the window. …,
