Lucky Jim

Brilliantly crisp and full of acidic commentary on the worst parts of academia. I picked this up because the author came recommended to me and I love academic fiction.

While being a little unfamiliar with the British higher education system (especially as it was 50 years ago), it nonetheless holds up and you need not have such historical or experiential knowledge to enjoy this book.

Bitter, caustic, hilarious - it makes you angry almost as much as it makes you laugh. I highly recommend it!
