Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) by Jerome K. Jerome

A humorous account of a two-week boating holiday of three friends on the Thames📖🎩

🌟This is one of the finest examples of classic British humour — subtle, light, accurate, ironic and self-ironic.

***
I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

🏰The book, initially planned to be a guidebook, contains many descriptions of English towns, nature and attractions as well as historical digressions.

***
You pass Oatlands Park on the right bank here. It is a famous old place. Henry VIII. stole it from some one or the other, I forget whom now, and lived in it.

😉Comic situations and ironic observations about human nature prevail on its pages.

***
George goes to sleep at a bank from ten to four each day, except Saturdays, when they wake him up and put him outside at two.

***
That’s Harris all over—so ready to take the burden of everything himself, and put it on the backs of other people.

👍It’s an easy read with easy to remember quotes, that easily cheers up👌
