Rosmarie Jarski makes wonderful books.....i bought this 'British Wit' one based on the strength of 'The Funniest Thing You Never Said' and I have to say that 'British Wit' is nothing like as brilliant.
It is an assembly of British Wit, for sure....and there are some cracking good quotes in there, but it lacks contrast.......in her previous book 'the funniest thing you never said', there is a whole spectrum of brilliant quotes from all over the world and it spices it up.
British Wit is like listening to a music album where you start off reading it and like the first few songs, but then you want a change in tempo and it doesnt happen....so you press pause and come back to it in a week or so.
I love her books though, she is a brilliant compiler of quotes and the 'Funniest Thing You Never Said' is the best of her books that I have read.
