Read the second chapter of The Chimes bij Charles Dickens. I always find his short stories much more readable and therefore enjoyable than his full length novels. Of course I have not finished this yet, so I may still change my opinion. I had to read Dombey & Son as an assignment for my course, but I could not really get into it. It's all a bit too melodramatic for my taste. But you should not judge a writer after having read only one book, so I'm trying again. Years ago I read A Christmas Carol and I quite enjoyed that, so that is why I started The Chimes. I am also reading Dickens' biography by Peter Ackroyd. A very good read!
