My nominee for the funniest book in the English language. Very British. Follows the short career of a professor hoping for a permanent job and fouling up royally. First 10 pp. or so off-putting, but if you survive those, it's golden.

This is a darling book. A book club was recommending "books that make you laugh" and this was on it. It was written decades ago, and it witty and fun to read.

One of the funniest books I've read, with a wry appreciation of the trouble people can get themselves into. I believe it is considered a classic.
