Why read it?
1 author picked The Secret Lemonade Drinker as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Bellamy is comfortably the most well-known of the authors here but still nowhere near as well-known as he deserves to be. Bellamy is sadly now no longer with us but this, his first book is his best-known and probably his funniest, although the rest of his canon is also well worth the effort.
There are few things funnier than the tale of the downtrodden male with high hopes and little to back those hopes up, and Bobby Booth’s is the funniest of the lot. Auberon Waugh liked it, and you can hardly have a better recommendation.
From Steve's list on books to make you laugh by authors you’ve (probably) never heard of.
