Made it 40% of the way through, then left it. Two years on and I figure I won't finish it. I did enjoy what I read. I loved the depiction of the out-of-touch aristocracy. I wasn't sure to what extent I was supposed to find the main character humorous. Perhaps a 21st century awareness of mental health stifles the fun. The pace was quite uneven which made it hard to persevere. I perhaps didn't help myself by going for the only translation the library had (a dated early/mid-20th century translation) instead of buying a more modern translation.
