Since it had been a while, I figured it might be a nice change to read something completely unrelated to my work or school, to refresh the spirit. Which I think was achieved. The book is typical Dickens in it’s esoteric vocabulary, but I tend to like that kind of reading material anyway. I was surprised at how I managed to get through high school and college without reading it though – I believe my curriculum must have substituted another of Dickens’ works in its stead.
