A Man of Habit

“A Man of Habit” is a well-known essay by Jerome Klapka Jerome, an outstanding British writer and humourist (1859 – 1927). While going by boat from North America to England, the travellers share their stories about the power of habit – how a widower cannot fall asleep without his wife's snort, another man has lunch in the middle of the night, after a change of time zone, and so on.
