The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow by Jerome K. Jerome
"The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow" by Jerome K. Jerome is a collection of humorous essays published in 1886. This work established Jerome as a leading English humorist through fourteen witty reflections on everyday topics like love, shyness, babies, weather, and memory. Written in the same style as his later famous "Three Men in a Boat," these lighthearted essays explore the comedy and absurdity of ordinary life with charm and wit,
offering timeless observations on human nature and daily existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
