I'm reading Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. I don't know how well known it is. First published in 1889, it's incredibly relevant in today's world. And VERY funny.

I loved "Three men in a boat, to say nothing of the dog" - haven't read it for a while - but might just go and search it out. It could well suit my mood just now!

I just finished re-reading "Lolita" -- next up is either the latest Kinky Friedman, which the hubby says is OK but certainly not his best, or "Fury" by Salman Rushdie.
