Happy-Go-Lucky

Loosely strung story of the life of an upper class English youth. The scenes jump, characters come and go, the narrator shifts abruptly from third person to first person. But despite all that, it's typical English humor, the hero is more lucky than deserving, and you can doze off without really worrying about what happens next. These kind of books were probably 19th century equivalents of YouTube cat videos - enjoy once, share with your friends and forget about it.
