British Satire Books Like Tom Sharpe?


Recommended Posts

Hi. I have been reading Tom Sharpes books and I really like that 70's/80's suburban england feel. I used to read the Adrian Mole books when I was a kid, so I have always had an affection for this setup. Great escapism and nostalgia.

I have bought a Reginald Perrin collection, so will be reading that soon.

Can anyone recommend other similar books? Preferably stuff pre 2000  :smile:

I really enjoyed Blott on the Landscape by Tom Sharpe, the TV production was hilarious too.

Other British satirical books I've read and can recommend are Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall by Spike Milligan; Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons and I believe PG Wodehouse and Saki are considered satirical as well.

Welcome too to BCF :)
