Pooter can't understand his son's slang or dismal work ethic ... his wife is spellbound by new age spiritualism ... his ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25099685">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Charles Pooter, our narrator, records his daily life with a stoicism and sincerity that makes its humor all the funnier. While he isnâ€™t as boorish as David Brent, he has the same sense of self-importance and blindness to his faults that Gervaisâ€™ character had.
