Lucky Jim

Not only is the 1st paragraph of Ch. 6 the best description of a hangover I've ever read ...

"His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum."

But I read this today too.

"All the same, what messes these women got themselves into over nothing. Men got themselves into messes too, and ones that weren't so easily got out of, but their messes arose from attempts to satisfy real and simple needs."

Dont particularly agree with that 100% (the first half, yes; the second half, not so much) but still was funny to read because the first part is SO TRUE SOMETIMES.
You couldnt believe some of the problems I've dreamt up in my head that didnt really exist.
