Jerome K Jerome is one of England's best-loved humorists, and in his second book, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, he reveals a prodigious talent for quiet, comical philosophizing. Fourteen topics are covered, leaving the reader with new perspectives on such topics as the weather, lack of cash, the agonies of shyness, and being in love, which according to Jerome 'is like catching the measles, "we all have to go through it... but never need be afraid of catching it a second time". The world will never look the same again!
