Note to self: While taking books you want to reread and write reviews for and putting them in the bathroom to be read over a month or so is a good idea, before you embark on this in the future, take a good look at the book.

A most excellent book. Rather a shame that I didn't discover Dickens until the twilight (rather a long one, I expect) of my life.

David Copperfield's father dies before he is born, and his mother, while loving and doting, is a...
