[B]The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith
Another Victorian gem which is often overlooked and rarely heard of.
Charles Pooter, who works as a clerk in the City, is the "author" of this wonderfully amusing diary, which offers an insightful glimps into the life of Victorian Middle class families. The pretentious members of the Pooter family exude self-importance without much justification and often too occupied with themselves to realise that they are viewed differently by the people around themselves.
If you are looking for something different and entertaining, you cannot go wrong with The Diary of a Nobody.
8/10 KitKats!
