I love Dickens and have read most of his main novels. The language is one thing in that I had to teach myself to accept slow reading, but as he wrote in episodes and often has multiple plot lines running consecutively, lines that run in parallel, converge and sometimes cross, keeping track of the characters and where they were introduced and are in the plot line they are in can be tricky and I often find myself flicking back to check…and when I find it i often read a few pages to reestablish their part in proceedings.On a theme with several recent posts - currently working my way through Charles Dickens. Everyone regards his work as classic, but never read any before. Very descriptive narratives but the language takes a bit of getting used to.
My favourite…dunno…but Bleak House is superb. Got Dombey and Son next.
