Three men in a Boat published in 1889, is a humorous account by English writter Jerome K. Three men in a boat was simply epic hilarious stuff. Though the book was published way back in 1889, it is still outrageously funny to this day. undoubtedly one of the funniest things I have ever read . If only more classics were this funny caution advised while reading in public places, as you might just burst out laughing.
