Three Men In A Boat, To Say Nothing of the Dog
Three Men in a Boat: (To Say Nothing of the Dog) (Dover Value Editions) by Jerome K. Jerome
In case you think that I like everything I read, I'll blog about a book that I can't rave about. I didn't really like Three Men In A Boat. This book was heralded as a classic and a prime example of British humor. I found it while perusing a bookshelf of modern classics that included the likes of Italo Calvino and F Scott Fitzgerald. So, perhaps my expectations were out of whack... but I swear that I kept turning the pages searching for whatever it was that made smarter people than me think that this book was so great. I never found it.
That said, there are some cute quips, such as the following:
"It is not that I object to the work, mind you; I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours."
