“I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.” — Jerome K. Jerome Grab an oar—and your sense of humor—and set out on one of the most delightfully absurd journeys in English literature. Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) is a brilliantly comical and unexpectedly touching account of three friends (and a dog) on a boating holiday along the River Thames. What begins as a simple escape from the stresses of modern life quickly devolves into a series of ridiculous misadventures, misunderstandings, and musings on everything from weather forecasts to the perils of canned pineapple. With a wit as sharp as the edge of a tin opener and a heart as warm as a sunlit pub, Jerome K. Jerome’s timeless classic continues to charm, amuse, and remind us of the ridiculousness and joy of simply being human.
