Reply to comment by Bookanista in Classic literature that’s also very readable. by MinxyMyrnaMinkoff

Totally random, but despite the fact that Pickwick Papers is Anne Shirley's comfort book in Anne of the Island, and I was obsessed with the Anne books in my early teens, I have never actually read it. (I've read A Tale of Two Cities, and half-assed an abridged version of Great Expectations, not to mention having read A Christmas Carol which is short enough that I could probably read it aloud to/with my daughter to see how familiar she is with the story.)

I’m not a huge Dickens fan in general but I adored this book.

I went through a phase in upper elementary school/middle school where "only Classics" was kinda my motto, so I gravitated towards Dickens because the complicated syntax made me feel smarter.

I'll absolutely have to read Pickwick, though.
