If you liked Three Men in a Boat, and especially if you enjoy time-travel stories, check out To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. Willis's characters jump in time between the not-too-distant future and the era of Three Men in a Boat. They don't meet up with the Three, but they do spend a lot of time both on and in the river.
You'll get more of the jokes if you read Three Men in a Boat first, but it's not strictly necessary.

This book caught me completely off guard as I thought it was a book similar to the Difference Engine where sci-fi meets merry old England, but I was wrong. It is a fine comedy that proves, you shouldn't - or can't - change the past. The main character has to save time, love and everyone he meets while trying desperately to take a nap.
