Lyrical, funny, and true

I'm engaged so far. However, Dickens is a much more challenging writer than I usually choose during the closing days of summer vacation. He doesn't use very difficult words, but he uses so many of them to express his ideas that I feel like I'm drowning in language. Oliver has just settled in with Fagan and the Artful Dodger -- lots of story to come!
