Quote of the week

At last, an inspiring quote from a writer whose attitude is one I admire:



“I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.”
― Jerome K. Jerome (Author of "Three Men in a Boat").


His most famous book "Three Men in a Boat" (about a fictional trip up the Thames) was released in the late nineteenth century yet is accessible and readable today - the language is fresh (though it was slated by the establishment at the time for being lowbrow), the humour is biting and the observations about the human nature show that some things don't change. Highly recommended!
