Here's the summary of the novel Three men in a boat.
Three Men in a Boat starts with three friends named Jerome, George, and Harris smoking together in their apartment in London. They are all hypochondriacs and always talk about their illnesses. After doing some researc
The men then make the necessary arrangements for the trip and choose to bring a cover for the boat and sleep in it, instead of carrying a tent or living at an inn. They make a long list of items but then realize that they ideally need to only carry the essentials. Although they are friends, J. doesn’t really like Harris and compares him at length to J.’s incompetent Uncle Podger. They finally decide to bring a hamper of food, clothing, a methylated spirit stove for cooking and a cover for the boat.
The friends sleep too long but ultimately get on a train to Kingston, from which they will start their journey, on the first morning of the trip. J. mentions some local landmarks, including Hampton Court and some pubs that Queen Elizabeth dined in. Harris narrates an incident about getting lost in the hedge maze at Hampton Court.
The men then go through their first lock, which is a canal set off from the river that allows boats to pass through a steep area. J. immediately talks about how irritating it is when women wear ‘boating clothes’ that are too flimsy to get wet. George then moves away from his group to do some work for his employer in Shepperton. Harris then gives the idea of visiting a cemetery to see an interesting tombstone, but J. rejects his plan. Harris then falls into the food hamper while trying to find a bottle of whiskey.
