Three Men in a Boat (Centaur Classics) [The 100 greatest novels of all time - #75]

"One of the comic gems of the English language." â€”Robert McCrum
"[Jerome saw] that one of the funniest things a human being has is his conscience." â€”V. S. Pritchett

Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a â€˜Tâ€™. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks â€” not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.â€™s small fox-terrier Montmorency.
Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian â€˜clerking classesâ€™, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age.
