Last night
Dec. 15th, 2008 07:58 pm...partially to distract myself from my imminent final which I'd finished studying for, I went to the school's library and checked out Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat as well as Ellen Klages' Portable Childhoods. Both are spectacular in different ways, or at least what I've read of them so far. In Portable Childhoods, I particularly liked the story "Time Gypsy". "Möbius, Stripped of a Muse" was unique and startling but really fun.
Three Men in a Boat is excellent as well but in a thoughtfully comedic sense. I can definitely understand how it inspired To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. The sense of humor is similar among other things. They'd be great books to read in sequence.
