Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog by Jerome K. Jerome

3.0

Three friends decide to spend a fortnight going up the Thames in a skiff - even if it kills them, which it just may do. Their misadventures are humorously recalled in this "travelogue" which has withstood the test of time. There are some laugh-out-loud moments, but it's slow going in places. Made me really sympathize with their struggles to row (or tow) UP stream. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for this very British memoir that was first published in 1889. Glad I finally read it, but I won’t be raving about it.
