If you like Tolkein, I would think that Trollope would agree with you better than Dickens . . .

. . . that's just my opinion, but give The Warden or Barchester Towers a shot.

“...Trollope would agree with you better than Dickens . . .”

Good idea. I’d forgotten about Trollope. The last thing I remember reading is The Eustace(sp?) Diamond.

Dickens is so delightfully florid.
