In a boat. On the Thames? But not much else, and that's my problem with the essays. There are beautifully funny bits in them which make me laugh out loud, mostly observational, but nothing I found very memorable. The description of drunks telling ghost stories was something else though (I really love this sequence of stories).

I wouldnt wait, but I might suggest reading the essays first and the ghost stories after - I'm also more than half inclined to read the ghost stories annually now, possibly on Christmas Eve, and ideally aloud with someone else. That's how funny I found them!

Three Men in a Boat is one of my all-time favorites but I've read little of his other works. Thanks for the recommendation.
