Opis

What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct, and elevate. This book wouldnt elevate a cow... All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading "the best hundred books", you may take this up for half an hour. It will be a change.A book of essays and observations by one of the finest humorists of all time, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow has remained a classic since it was first published in the late nineteenth century. Writing on a whimsically diverse range of topics-on being idle (It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do); on memory (That is just the way with Memory; nothing that she brings to us is complete); on being hard up (Being poor is a mere trifle. It is being known to be poor that is the sting); on being in love (Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it. Also, like the measles, we take it only once)-Jerome K. Jerome has delighted readers over generations.Now part of the Speaking Tiger Ruskin Bond Selections, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is a book for all seasons, and comes especially recommended for idle holidays.
