Jerome, Jerome K.: Idle Ideas in 1905. v2. 24 May 2012
Jerome is best known for his humorous travelogue "Three Men in a Boat" (1889).
Here is a third collection of twenty-one essays from that Idle Fellow. Jerome offers his opinions on music and literature, does a bit of traveling, and takes some wryly humorous looks at social and political issues of the day — many of the points discussed still ring true today, more than a century later. ----- A very brief excerpt: Quote:

I just read the story "WHY WE HATE THE FOREIGNER" and it brought a smile on my face. BTW, both the book and the cover look great. What tool did you use to create the cover?

@ Doitsu, thanks for downloading, hope you enjoy the rest as well! I use Paint Shop Pro (v 9, from back in 2005, never needed to upgarade after that), just some textures I lifted from graphics on my drive and applied to simple text over a simple rectangle.
@ GA Russell , hope you enjoy. I didn't know about Jerome until I joined MobileRead and saw Zelda's famed "Three Men in a Boat", he is so entertaining. |
