<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Featuring twelve simple yet profound essays, Jerome K. Jerome's <em>Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow</em> 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. <em>On the Art of Making Up One's Mind </em> 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 <em>On the Exceptional Merit Attaching to the Things We Meant to Do</em> 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 <em>On the Inadvisability of Following Advice. </em> With discussions of pride, intention, vices, and ideals, <em>Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow</em> addresses the truths of topics that are simultaneously overlooked, yet universally experienced. </p><p> </p><p>With satirical prose and thoughtful reflection, Jerome K. Jerome combines humor and sentiment in <em>Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow</em>, presenting serious topics without intimidation, inviting thought and laughter.
