Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome
4.0

Even though this book was written in 1889, overall it's surprisingly relevant today. I had the impression that Victorian era folks were stuffy, stuck up and boring, but the humor in this book was pretty good. It follows three bumbling young gentleman as they boat their way up the Thames. I found that many of the stories sounded very much like what you'd hear from modern campers. There were a few times when the opinions re: women were a little out of date and one usage of the word "n*gger", but otherwise the book was really enjoyable.
