Thoughts of an Idle Fellow by Jerome K Jerome

 I'd never heard of this book, but SallyMn just recommended it, and as I've always loved 'Three Men in a Boat' by Jerome K Jerome, I went to take a look.

As soon as I have an ebook reader, this book is going to be on it.  It's free at Project Gutenberg (and I assume 'Three Men in a Boat' will be also if you haven't already read that), so go there and enjoy!

A light, gentle, self-mocking sense of humour and a wonderfully tongue in cheek way of viewing the world.

"My pipe" ! This made my day (and it's now just past 5 AM), when I got to that.

I remember reading that on the sun lounger when ill before my O-levels. I wasn't keen on it, but did like Three Men on the Bummel, touring Germany by bicycle.

Glad you like it :) I think 'gentle' is definitely the word for it, you can't help feeling he's a fellow you'd love to know...
