"Diary of a Nobody" is a classic piece of late 19th Century British humor, right up there with Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat." I bought this edition because it was so inexpensive- and that was a huge mistake. This book was laid out by someone with no sense of design and no skill at typography and pagination. The lines are too long, the spacing is wrong, the justification is ragged right, the margins are too narrow... in short, it's a mess, and difficult to read. Get the Kindle edition (it's free) or find an old edition printed by someone who knew what they were doing,
