Publisher's Synopsis

""The Second Thoughts Of An Idle Fellow"" is a collection of humorous essays written by Jerome K. Jerome, the author of the classic novel ""Three Men in a Boat"". First published in 1898, the book contains a series of reflections and musings on various topics, including love, friendship, work, and leisure. Jerome's witty and satirical style of writing is on full display in this book, as he pokes fun at societal norms and conventions. The essays are often self-deprecating and introspective, as Jerome explores his own shortcomings and foibles. Despite the book's age, many of the observations and critiques remain relevant today, making it a timeless classic of English literature.Do not blame me, Ladies, the fault lies with you. Every right-thinking man is an universal lover; how could it be otherwise? You are so diverse, yet each so charming of your kind; and a man's heart is large. You have no idea, fair Reader, how large a man's heart is: that is his trouble--sometimes yours.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
