Some how I have never heard of this book even though it was published in 1889 and has been in circulation ever since. After reading an article by Julia Stewart at NPR. I definitely need to add this to my reading list.
If you need more convincing read the following review: below is an excerpt
Three Men in a Boat has survived these many years, I believe, because of its eloquent diction, dry wit, and a commonalty of frustration that you and I are bound to have with the simple accouterments of everyday life. It also carries an underlying sweetness.
It was not Jerome K. Jerome's first book, nor was it his last --- but it was and is and presumably will always continue to be one of the most wonderful of writings in the English language.

If you are into books on tape and into Hugh Laurie this would be a great option.
