Look, you people blew this big time. You know you want to read Lamb, but because some of you voted for something else, you might have to pay more to read Lamb.
Jon, there's still time. Go get 9 of your friends from MR to vote your way.

And I think the only reason the egg won was because of the price even though it's not the funniest one in the bunch. Heck, even Topper is better.

Here are some links to the book.

Was there a chicken farm craze in the first half of the twentieth century?
P. G. Wodehouse's 'Love Among the Chickens' is another comic novel on the theme.
Found this one at manybooks and a mp3 from librivox
Quote:
The story is told from the point of view of Jeremy Garnet, an author and an old friend of Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge. Upon meeting Ukridge for the first time in years, Garnet finds himself dragged along on holiday to Ukridge's newly-started chicken farm. From then on the novel intertwines Garnet's difficult wooing of a girl living the estate with the struggles of the farm, and the neighbourhood, to cope with Ukridge's bizarre business methods.
[The above book is a picture of life a few years earlier (1906) in the UK.]

What do you mean, even Topper is better? Topper is hilarious! You better smile when you say that, Jon!
