Diary of a nobody is such a beautiful picture of mundane existence. It’s so timeless, which makes the humour work so well.

Aye, fair enough. And, enduring concept aside, I'm not even sure J&H is actually any good.
I read it and remember next to nothing. The collection I was reading also had "The Merry Men" in it and I found that far more memorable, which is bizarre since J&H is about a man who makes the potion that turns him into a big monster and "The Merry Men" is about...waves hitting rocks.
