Cold Comfort Farm

I loved this book. It is really funny! I tried reading this before and watching the movie, and I couldn't get into it. For some reason, I loved it this year. Clever and crazy. 

Here is why James Mustich thinks it should be one of the 1000 Books You Read Before You Die:

Imagine a Jane Austen heroine stumbling into an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, with the hillbillies portrayed by method actors. That will give you something of the flavor of this giddy tale, which presents a picture of country life that is roaringly bizarre—and hilarious. Flora Poste is a sophisticated Londoner whose education has been “expensive, athletic and prolonged.” When she is orphaned at nineteen, she heads off to stay with the Starkadders, her distant cousins on her late mother’s side. They have a dilapidated farm in the village of Howling—a place that turns out to be perfectly named, for what Flora discovers at Cold Comfort Farm is enough to make anyone scream.
