With me, it was my liver that was out of order.

Jerome found a hobby that he was extremely skilled at, and very passionate about--idleness. He was thrilled at the amount of time he could waste doing nothing, frustrating those around him. However, when Jerome falls ill and is ordered to bedrest, this hobby is tested. Then, he learns that doing nothing is only fun when you have other commitments. This relatable sentiment is explored in the title essay of \u003cem\u003eIdle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e. Taking sometimes mundane topics and twisting them into the extraordinary, \u003cem\u003eIdle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e shares insight on a variety of topics. In \u003cem\u003eOn Being in Love\u003c\/em\u003e Jerome applies his observations of couples to broader realizations of love and romance. Exploring an opposite, polarizing feeling, \u003cem\u003eOn Being in the Blues\u003c\/em\u003e is a touching portrayal of living with depression, struggling through the lows and highs of mental health. While such essays invoke strong emotional reactions, others dabble in lighter topics, such as the attire of babies, the weather, and gluttonous appetites. Yet, whether the topic is profound or ordinary, Jerome finds a way to craft philosophical prose saturated in clever insight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing fourteen witty and philosophical essays, Jerome's \u003cem\u003eIdle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e considers topics of varying importance, from the author's opinion on cats to suffering through depressive episodes. Each accompanied by a personal, and usually hilarious narrative, these essays reach philosophic conclusions as they entertain with their captivating charm and sarcasm. Written with casual prose decorated with thorough imagery and figurative language, \u003cem\u003e Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e imparts fun and frank wisdom on its readers, still delighting audiences over a century after it was first published. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of \u003cem\u003eIdle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e by Jerome K.

Jerome's \u003cem\u003eSecond Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e is a humorous and clever collection. Each essay is crafted around a timeless and relatable issue, such as the unfortunately common inability to make decisions. \u003cem\u003eOn the Art of Making Up One's Mind \u003c\/em\u003e observes this to be a common practice. Beginning with the story of a young woman who cannot decide what color of garment to buy, this essay takes notice of the everyday day occurrences of this struggle, comparing the experience for men and women. As a common theme in the collection, societal expectations and assumptions about gender play a main role in many of the essays, tackling topics such as relationships and dating. However, other essays focus on the universal experience of being human, separate from implications of gender. This is portrayed in \u003cem\u003eOn the Exceptional Merit Attaching to the Things We Meant to Do\u003c\/em\u003e through the narrative of a failed craft. Despite shortcomings, pride always finds a way to warp reality, which is why Jerome ironically warns against taking advice in the essay \u003cem\u003eOn the Inadvisability of Following Advice. \u003c\/em\u003e With discussions of pride, intention, vices, and ideals, \u003cem\u003eSecond Thoughts of an Idle Fellow\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the truths of topics that are simultaneously overlooked, yet universally experienced. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith satirical prose and thoughtful reflection, Jerome K.

In 1889, Jerome published his most successful and best-remembered work, 'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of print.
