158. The Diary of a Nobody (George and Weedon Grossmith)

From Chapter 7 of The Diary of a Nobody

Synopsis from Amazon:
Anxious, accident-prone, occasionally waspish, Charles Pooter has come to be seen as the epitome of English suburban life. His diary chronicles encounters with difficult tradesmen, the delights of home improvements, small parties, minor embarrassments, and problems with his troublesome son. The suburban world he inhabits is hilariously and painfully familiar in its small-mindedness and its essential decency.

My rating: 3 stars
