Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)
The most hilariously funny and absurd book I have ever read. It is a short story of, unsurprisingly, three men and a dog on a boating holiday, on which they fall foul of various ridiculous situations.

I'm always a bit reserved when reccommending books to people too strongly, but with this book I am willing to make an exception.

It quite simply is the most amusing book I have ever read. The interaction between these victorian gentlemen aboard a boat, annoying each other and bickering like schoolkids is gold.

One of the scenes with the dog being a pest on the boat and one of the men sitting on the butter had me crying with laughter the first time I read it, and writing this I have a stupid smirk on my face. I'm going to read it now actually.

It's a corker!
The funniest book I've ever read! I had tears streaming down my face when Harris sang a comic song. Great stuff. Plus it's always great to support people who's parents named them twice (Jerome K. Jerome).

*clicks*
A fine book, and hailing from Walsall (as Jerome K Jerome did) I've been to the JKJ museum, my school headmaster was a member of the JKJ Society, and in the Saddlers' Centre (Walsall town centre shopping arcade, where the train station is) there is a giant animatronic Three Men in a Boat clock - on the hour the figures all move as the dog steals the sausages. We're very proud of him in Walsall, and rightly so.

Also, early on while they're still in London, he mentions the pub where my ex lives and where I've spent many a happy night :)

True story
It took me at least a chapter to work out there was a dog. I was very confused.
