I'm only about a quarter of the way through A Bachelor's Comedy, but it's already proving worthwhile just for the running joke where a misunderstanding has caused the village to think their new young vicar has a cartoonishly humongous appetite, but no one tells him about it, so he has no clue why everyone is giving him enormous servings of food.

#a bachelor's comedy by j.e. buckrose #it's a very fun book #i love its flavor of comedy #but for some reason i can only read it a few pages at a time so it's slow going #i have a feeling it's a book that will be better on reread #i'll have all the names straight and my imagination will fill in the lack of description #so i'll be better able to sink in and enjoy the ride #the main character is a delightful boy #and i like how it (so far) manages to be a comedy about a clergyman without making fun of religion #he's a sweet boy who's trying his best and just has to deal with the silly foibles of daily life #so much of this is so relatable even a century later and an ocean away
