Is it a hardback?

[–]jonahlew 60 points61 points ago

No. I wanted to display it open on the table but I couldn't keep it up.

[–]ikma 37 points38 points ago

that's preposterous!

[–]ISawThePhotograph 26 points27 points ago

I was trying to think up a pun but it was too hard.

[–]argen27 29 points30 points ago

It's a good thing you came eventually.

[–]Shredswithwheat 17 points18 points ago

I had this great reply to that, but it's just gonna get shafted

[–]Patrickfoster 16 points17 points ago

There's some stiff competition for good puns here.

Shit I'm too late for any trickle down.

[–]Majil229 0 points1 point ago

Truly difficult to erect a proper pun thread these days

[–]greg78910 10 points11 points ago

We erected this wonderful pun thread, but no one will keep it up?

[–]waycfor 5 points6 points ago

you were really firing blanks with that one

[–]lemmonsqueezy 3 points4 points ago

Booooo. Not even a book pun.

[–]Patrickfoster 0 points1 point ago

Relevant, though.

[–]Conveniently_Insane 40 points41 points ago

That's in Thorpeness in Suffolk

[–]mattledger 9 points10 points ago

Used to go on the boating lake there every summer as a kid, rowing out to the pirate fort on one of the islands and staring up at the "house in the clouds" was mind blowing at that age!

[–]Conveniently_Insane 2 points3 points ago

Same!

[–]powernut 0 points1 point ago

It's a hotel, they charge around 3000 of the Queen's sterling a week, and utilities are a separate charge. Crikey.

[–]ialsoeatshoes 12 points13 points ago

You jammy fucker

[–]Conveniently_Insane 0 points1 point ago

how am I jammy?

[–]atrociousxcracka 6 points7 points ago

Because I covered you in jam...mmmmmmmmm..jam

[–]Conveniently_Insane 3 points4 points ago

disturbing

[–]atrociousxcracka 9 points10 points ago

Delicious.

[–]bloqs 2 points3 points ago

I used to live very close to this, went up to the top when I was little. I'll see if I can find the photo!

[–]The__Explainer 1 point2 points ago

I used to live in Thorpeness as well, a lifetime ago - I remember the Mere freezing when I was a kid - oh the fun we had!

[–]The1WhoRingsTheBell 0 points1 point ago

I came here 8 hours too late :(

[–]manny135 -2 points-1 points ago

damn it i was too late!

[–]gerald_bostock 1 point2 points ago

THE BISHOP!

[–]TapTapBam -5 points-4 points ago

Fascinating!

[–]minus000 1 point2 points ago

To verify about Thorpeness in Suffolk, I just used the meter.

[–]EasyBend 30 points31 points ago

Don't worry, it doesn't take long to read. Most men think it's longer than it is.

[–]Carter52 13 points14 points ago

i have to get this for my teacher. she's from london and has no sense of humor

[–]saucepanicus 5 points6 points ago

it's very easy to send anonymous gifts through amazon.

[–]Snowy1234 0 points1 point ago

That's a London thing. We're not all like that. Think New Yorkers.

[–]Mr_Mogli 6 points7 points ago

Shut up and take my money... http://amazon.co.uk/dp/0711233586

[–]Eyalush 2 points3 points ago

aaand it's mine.

[–]Randolpho 1 point2 points ago

I think I'll buy that.

[–]mitymiget 8 points9 points ago

More info on the house on the cover - House in the Clouds if people want to stay there. It can cost over £3000 per week at certain times of the year. http://www.houseintheclouds.co.uk/index.php?pid=216

[–]fredster23199 8 points9 points ago

It's in a town called Thorpeness, which is next to Aldeburgh, which contains a shop that serves possibly the

BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN THE WORLD!

[–]mattledger 2 points3 points ago

... and you can enjoy those fish and chips whilst sitting on the least sandy, windiest beach in the world!

[–]The__Explainer 0 points1 point ago

Windiest? There's someone who has never been to the Hebrides.

[–]mattledger 0 points1 point ago

Yeh when I posted that I knew someone would call me out! Windiest in the UK doesn't sound very good and is probably a gross exaggeration as well, let's just say it's a really pebbly and really windy beach!

[–]tidux 0 points1 point ago

least sandy beach

A good 90% of the beaches in Maine are just rocks. No sand at all.

[–]toastedipod 0 points1 point ago

Give it a few hundred years, you'll have your sand eventually...

[–]NotVerySmarts 0 points1 point ago

settle down there guvnah...

[–]mitymiget 1 point2 points ago

YES! I went there and they were incredible!

[–]sl3ight -1 points0 points ago

And here comes my internal Jeremy Clarkson voice.

[–]endershadow11 11 points12 points ago

Hopefully you don't have a faulty tower.

[–]sousapro 5 points6 points ago

Oddly enough that was the name of my band in high school

[–]therealjoekony 5 points6 points ago

I preferred the follow up book, "Ridiculous Boners." I highly recommend it.

[–]KoboldCommando -2 points-1 points ago

I have to wonder just how many people will actually get that joke.

[–]Jackstraww 3 points4 points ago

By "Peter" Ashley

[–]doublearawn 7 points8 points ago

I have the most preposterous erection right now.

[–]KingsEmpire 2 points3 points ago

The house even looks like a wang.. is this a serious architecture book or a novelty?

[–]filiushyde[S] 0 points1 point ago

serious architecture book full of well... funny looking towers

[–]ElvisDumbledore 0 points1 point ago

MOAR!

[–]fugged_up_shib 1 point2 points ago

Who wants a banger in the mouth?

[–]fugged_up_shib -1 points0 points ago

Oh that's right, in America you call it a sausage in the mouth

[–]fugged_up_shib -1 points0 points ago

We just say sausage.

[–]Randolpho 1 point2 points ago

Somehow both phrases inuend.

[–]ImBoredErlands 0 points1 point ago

woosh

[–]goldenretrievers 0 points1 point ago

This would look great on my bookshelf.

[–]Aviri 0 points1 point ago

Nothing else needs to be said.

[–]the_girl 0 points1 point ago

crosspost this to r/coolcovers

[–]vomitpalooza 1 point2 points ago

that title....just gets me in the mood.....a reading mood

[–]Zoneyy 0 points1 point ago

trying to figure out a good title for books these days are getting harder and harder

[–]mypinkieinthedevil 1 point2 points ago

I read his later work superfluous snail trails: walking trails of the English countryside

[–]charlieisahorse 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe in such a thing

[–]Vzlashiryu -1 points0 points ago

WTF? Upvote.

[–]hugejew 0 points1 point ago

Also known as "the story of my life."

[–]RedundantMaleMan 0 points1 point ago

Odd, those are both my middle names. Hyphenated of course......

[–]StoryTimeTim 1 point2 points ago

That's the most British thing I've seen all day, and I just googled King Henry VIII's dick.

[–]Jeffro1265 0 points1 point ago

As an engineer, id love to read this book.

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point ago

If I remember correctly, these were built because land tax was only assessed upon the sq ft area the first level took up.

So, if you have a larger upstairs than downstairs...

[–]pottyaboutpotter1 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure what I was expecting. Have an upvote regardless.

[–]basilisk2222 0 points1 point ago

Or you could try http://www.mammotherection.com/

Why settle for scaffold when you can have a Mammoth Erection.

[–]Jameslcfc 0 points1 point ago

Looks like The Water House in Lutterworth, Leicestershire

[–]pizza_piez 1 point2 points ago

I am going to start calling my preposterous erections "English towers"

[–]RatherTall 0 points1 point ago

"Good heavens that erection is preposterous!" - old english guy with a monocle and pipe.

[–]pisspantmcgee 0 points1 point ago

Thought this was going to be about when I visit nursing homes.

[–]nowtayneicangetinto 1 point2 points ago

Oh I get it! Penises get erect too!

[–]smeaglelovesmaster 0 points1 point ago

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

[–]dontBatool 0 points1 point ago

the courage i summed up to click that link...

[–]jacothy 0 points1 point ago

I would pontificate on the profound preposition of this petty .... ahh fuck it.

[–]radio_voice 0 points1 point ago

There goes the title of my memoir.

[–]lord_dude 0 points1 point ago

it would actually be awesome to live in that tower

[–]dostoevsky4evah 0 points1 point ago

Nice design work!

[–]Loahnuh 0 points1 point ago

Now someone just need to build every structure in there in Minecraft and all will be right in the world.

[–]shteeeeeve 0 points1 point ago

...that's what SHE said...

[–]Myakyu 1 point2 points ago

Welcome to studying architecture. It's all caulk and erection jokes...

[–]kevmarshmt 0 points1 point ago

The fact that the building on the cover looks like a dick just makes this better!

[–]BlueThing64 0 points1 point ago

My favorite kind of erection.

[–]StroodleNoodle 0 points1 point ago

"A Book of English Towers" if you know what I mean.

[–]tanvanman 0 points1 point ago

Oh, from the title I thought this was going to be an article about the corruption in the Japanese elections.

[–]unchartedwaters 0 points1 point ago

risky click since I thought this link would show them in awkward situations.

[–]theunknowncompanion 0 points1 point ago

Monty Python styling :D

[–]SecurityKitten 0 points1 point ago

Oh my! I do believe I'm gettin' the vapors!

[–]krulos 0 points1 point ago

Don't forget to purchase the camping guide "Preposterous Erections: A Book of English Tents"

[–]dmodmodmo 0 points1 point ago

......"IT'S"

[–]SaintBaconator 0 points1 point ago

Risky click.

[–]Kaszt 0 points1 point ago

I believe you've found the winner for the "in your pants" book title game.

[–]dawtsie 0 points1 point ago

Where can I buy this right now.

[–]afroturf1 0 points1 point ago

This book ws published exclusively for old folks homes.

[–]ihatemaps 0 points1 point ago

You see it is hilarious because it has the word 'erection" in it which is another name for a blood-engorged penis. No, there's no other connection there, just the word "erection." So. Fucking. Hilarious.

[–]drageuth2 0 points1 point ago

Hm, I'd call this semi-putting the joke in the title. If nothing else, you passed up a priceless opportunity to make a second joke about old words that now sound dirty.

Maybe something like, "I ejaculate this to my friends and we all become gay!"

[–]DerKriegmeister 0 points1 point ago

pREPOSTerous

[–]ak5528 0 points1 point ago

damn it's so hard to think of a good comment to make

[–]vahntitrio 1 point2 points ago

Perfect for covering up unwanted boners.

[–]MrMagoo22 -1 points0 points ago

English Towers might be the classiest way to describe dicks I've ever read.

[–]gregorious13 -3 points-2 points ago

Like the one I have right now. All I did was wake up.

Don't read for more than 4 hours without consulting a doctor. Zing!
