EXCELLENT book, worth the slog. I suspect there are a number of Mrs. Jellybys residing on FR.
Finish the book before watching the BBC 1980s version with Diana Rigg. AVOID the newer version with Gillian Anderson.

"Dickens' Bleak House -"
It's a hefty tome, but once started I never wanted it to end. I think it to be Dicken's best.

Last month I read Dickens's
A Tale of Two Cities.
The only other Dickens I've read are A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations (the latter in high school).

I'm slowly making my way through "The Complete Works of Charles Dickens" on my Kindle. I say slowly, because I only read on my Kindle at night before turning out the light. I read one of his stories, then read other books for a while, before going to the next story in the collection. I'm currently reading "Dombey and Son."
