Reply to comment by matts2 in Connie Willis by ricocrispies

Do you ask people to read Three Men in a Boat first? I’ve done so but I have people bail before finishing Jerome without even getting to Willis.

I suggest they read it after. I needed Connie to show me that TMisB was a great book.

Honestly, it's not necessary. I hadn't read of Three Men in a Boat first, but was able to figure out enough through context that it didn't diminish my enjoyment at all.
