In September we will be reading Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome for our Comedy category - who's in?

Mutual Problem
by William Rossa Cole

Said Jerome K. Jerome to Ford Madox Ford,
" There's something, old boy, that I've always abhorred:
When people address me and call me " Jerome,"
Are they being standoffish, or too much at home? "

Said Ford, " I agree;
It's the same thing with me. "

I am going to read, finally.

I read this and the equal some recent years back. I remember it as fun more than funny. Sufficiently fun , that I looked forward to Three Men on the Bummel: Also Known as Three Men on Wheels

may I suggest, that in the name of the humor that is the selected book, you may want to refer to it by its full title: Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog): Comedic Memoir Travel Guide
