A second set of comic essays from the author of Three Men in a Boat, each titled like a solemn treatise: on the art of making up one’s mind, on the disadvantage of not getting what one wants, on love philtres, on minding other people’s business and on the inadvisability of following advice. Overheard dialogues, from a shopper dithering between grey and red to a lost Irishman on a Putney bus, carry the jokes.
A different book from The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, for readers who like their philosophy gentle and their humour dry. Download the free EPUB.
