Have I read this before: Nope. I reread Great Expectations earlier this month and that’s the only Dickens I’ve ever read, so I figured I’d go with the next Dickens book when I hit it alphabetically.

Review: This was a great book! I was not expecting this level of humor from a Dickens book, but that’s just because my only experience with Dickens is Great Expectations AND if you’re a guy who’s written a book called Bleak House you’re not going to automatically be seen as someone who injects humor into your writing.

But this was great.

Mr. Pickwick had waaaaaay more patience with Winkle than I ever would.

Favorite Part: There were a lot, but this quote is great:

“There are very few moments in a man’s existence, when he experiences so much ludicrous distress, or meets with so little charitable commiseration, as when he is in pursuit of his own hat.”
