THREE MEN IN A BOAT
by Jerome.K.Jerome
read by Hugh Laurie.

Three Men In A Boat ranksas one of the most amusing and durable books in the English language. Semi-autobiographical it recounts the many adventures and mishaps of George (George Wingrave), Harris (Carl Hentschel), J. (the author and narrator) and his remarkable dog, Montmorency during a boating trip on the Thames, in the late nineteenth century. Jerome K. Jerome originally wrote the book as a guide to the Thames Valley with lengthy historical sections lightened by comic interludes. However, his publisher greatly preferred the humour and asked for many of the historical sections to the guide to be cut out. So almost by accident the author wrote a hilarious book of adventures on the Thames. Vignettes include in this abridgement are the classic story of Harris lost in the Hampton Court maze, the hilarious description of three girls towing a boat, the three men's absurd attempts at putting the cover on their boat for the night and their futile efforts at opening a tin of pineapple. Great rollicking fun. Abridged - 3 hrs app. see CSAWORD web site for other info.

Other works may excel this in depth of thought and knowledge of human nature: other books may rival it in originality and size; but, for hopeless and incurable veracity, nothing yet discovered can surpass it. This, more than all its other charms, will, it is felt, make the volume precious in the eye of the earnest reader; and will lend additional weight to the lesson that the story teaches.

Preface to First Edition. Penguin Publisher. London, August 1889.

Perfectly describes my feelings.

[GiefGoldPlx]

The chief beauty of this books lies not so much in its literary style, or in the extent and usefulness of the information it conveys, as in its simple truthfulness. Its pages form the record of events that really happened. All that has been done is to colour them; and, for this, no extra charge has been made. George and Harris and Montmorency are not poetic ideals, but things of flesh and blood - especially George, who weighs about twelve stone.

[CarryOnQuack]

You can feel England and all it represented in those glorious day's. As usual, George is feeling he has every decease under the sun. This book still makes me laugh too this day

[clearly]

I can so identify with these men. I myself have done virtually no work for years and yet I feel so weary. An hour in bed of an afternoon help somewhat followed by coffee and toast before I relax for the remains of the day with a cigarette. I look at the garden and sigh, Its needs mowing and weeding but alas I am to tired to do, other than look and sigh. I sleep well enough but still feel tired on awakening to more coffee and toast. I have every malady known to man or woman. Alas I must rest.

Who better to read THIS book than the man who portrayed Bertie Wooster so perfectly? How delightful!

[kalarr1389]

this book is so hilarious, it's hard for me to think of a better book to read on a rainy day :)

[BrionyMae]

Hugh Laurie is the exact person i was imagining when I read this book. Love listening to him read it :)

[UnfoldingWings]

"They did not know then, that it was my liver."

Hahaha I love this.

[applelemonhead3345]

ohmygod.

i just keep waiting for him to say something snarky and sarcastic but it never happened. :(

[bratrat]

Love it...thanks for posting this one!

BTW: he makes liver problems sound interesting...lol!
