Review of 'Lucky Jim' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Don't get why people find it so funny. Apparently not my humour.

Published Jan. 1, 1981 by Books on Tape.
Amis’s debut novel, published in 1954, is a satire on academia. The protagonist is a bored and disinterested history lecturer at a provincial university, trapped in a joyless and sexless relationship with a depressive fellow lecturer. The book immediately elevated Amis to fame as one of the leading writers of his generation.
