Hi
Please tell me meaning of this
There is no pleasure in this world after a vigorous exercise or doing something hard than to go home and have a glass of cold water.
If it means that nothing can get us the pleasure of sipping a glass of cold water after a hard labour I am confused with the structure especially with the word in bold. Is this structure grammatical. Even so is there any other way of expressing this?

The writer made a mistake. He meant there is no greater pleasure ... than to go .... The sentence is oddly constructed even so. It does not strictly make sense. He meant to say that drinking cold water after exercise is the greatest pleasure, when what he says is that among the pleasures that come after exercise, drinking cold water is the greatest. Also, you don't have "an" exercise
