    <![CDATA[Published in 1886 and dedicated to the writer's ally in idling&#8212;his pipe&#8212;this collection of entertaining essays established Jerome K. Jerome as an eminent English wit. &quot;What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct, and elevate. This book wouldn&#8217;t elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purposes whatever. All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading &#8216;the best hundred books,&#8217; you may take this up for half an hour. It will be a change.&quot; Here are his idle and amusing thoughts on all aspects of life&#8212;from love to poverty, vanity to ambition, babies to cats and dogs&#8212;and, of course, on the pleasures of spending one&#8217;s time idling.]]>

    <![CDATA[One or two friends to whom I showed these papers in MS. having observed that they were not half bad, and some of my relations having promised to buy the book if it ever came out, I feel I have no right to longer delay its issue. But for this, as one may say, public demand, I perhaps should not have ventured to offer these mere &quot;idle thoughts&quot; of mine as mental food for the English-speaking peoples of the earth. What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct, and elevate. This book wouldn't elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purposes whatever. All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading &quot;the best hundred books,&quot; you may take this up for half an hour. It will be a change]]>

    <![CDATA[Published in 1886 and dedicated to the writer's ally in idling&#8212;his pipe&#8212;this collection of entertaining essays established Jerome K. Jerome as an eminent English wit. &quot;What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct, and elevate. This book wouldn&#8217;t elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purposes whatever. All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading &#8216;the best hundred books,&#8217; you may take this up for half an hour. It will be a change.&quot; Here are his idle and amusing thoughts on all aspects of life&#8212;from love to poverty, vanity to ambition, babies to cats and dogs&#8212;and, of course, on the pleasures of spending one&#8217;s time idling.]]>

    <![CDATA[You've been in love, of course! If not you've got it to come. Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it. Also like the measles, we take it only once. One never need be afraid of catching it a second time. The man who has had it can go into the most dangerous places and play the most foolhardy tricks with perfect safety.]]>
