Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers

 'It took me a while to get into it - the orignial intention was to read it in instalments in the same way it was published, but I found it tough to follow and distinguish between pickwickians. The arrival of Sam Weller changed all that, and all of a sudden there was an engaging character to follow through the story, By the end I was very happy to see his good fortune. We're in Twixtmas at the moment, although I am still working so it isn't the normal cheese quality street and sofa period. I didn't feel great over christmas following my booster, so I need to get back in the habit of exercising properly. I also came off the wagon spectacularly with my book buying after the self-imposed moratorium. I'll try and do a similar thing for books and booze between Jan and my birthday and try and buy neither. Will see how I get on - there will, of course, need to be the occasional discreet exception
