I am so glad to have finally read this work. It has been on my incredibly small to-read list for years, and whenever I have tried I have maybe managed a chapter or two and then found it hard to progress. I have only now managed to do so because I have come into possession of an old Kindle, and downloading the ebook off Project Gutenberg.

I'm not kidding about finding it nauseating to read though with long meandering sentences with irrelevant detail thrown in repeated over and over. Maybe this is part of the charm that paints this world that feels real and lived in.

And who starts a sentence with a conjunction anyway?
