"When Harris is at a party, and is asked to sing, he replies: 'Well, I can only sing a comic song, you know'; and he says it in a tone that implies that his singing of that however is a thing that you ought to hear once, and then die."

-Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

There are very few things in life that make me laugh harder than this book. I think that half of it is the illustrations-- I just start laughing looking at them. It is very hard not to love idiotic, impertinent little Nutkin.
