Literary Lapses by Stephen Leacock A book of short vignettes that promises to tickle our funny bones. Should be able to read it over a weekend.

I'd already read the first, My Financial Career. The National Library used to have a hilarious clip of Johnathan Stark doing a reading/performance of it, but it's no longer available.

Okay, well that took quite a bit longer than a weekend, mixed in as it was with a bunch of other books I was trying to finish. In the end, I think that was just fine, since I think I would've gotten a bit tired of it had I tried to read it in one or two sittings.

Occasionally, Leacock is funny, but I think for the most part I'd characterise him as humourous instead.
