Happy birthday, Charles Dickens! It's a good day to read _Hard Times_, a book that feels peculiarly suited to the world we live in:
“'And he said, Now, this schoolroom is a Nation. And in this nation, there are fifty millions of money. Isn‘t this a prosperous nation? Girl number twenty, isn‘t this a prosperous nation, and a‘n‘t you in a thriving state?‘
“‘What did you say?‘ asked Louisa. . . .

#pemberlittens read this #chunkster and I found this one to be vexing, amusing, and entertaining. I admit to a bit of eye rolling and gasps of oh no you didn't a few times. Overall this was a solid read.
Chapter 36: Rosamond is sure that Lydgate doesn‘t expect a dowry.. #excepthedoes #whatcouldgowrong #neverendingdrama #pemberlittens

This is a spectacularly written novel, with wonderfully fleshed out characters. It is, at its heart, a story of abuse, dashed hopes and the birth of new love against all odds.
While this work isn‘t very atmospheric, it is very compelling in its humanness. Many themes of this book are eternal and readers today and into the future will be able to resonate with it.
Both the narrators were fabulous and have done a tremendous job. Must listen!
New Patreon episode is up and out. We select a spy novel to read and Peter trolls me pretty hard on football issues. I think I handled it fairly well. Enjoy!
