acemccloudxx, the reason "Three Men in a Boat" has such resonance for SF fans, and the reason Connie Willis read it in the first place, is because Heinlein mentions it several times in his novel "Have Space Suit, Will Travel."
Come to think of it, it's the reason I read it in the first place, myself.
I challenge you to read the first chapter. If you haven't laughed out loud at least twice, then give it a rest.
I bet you will, though.
