I don't even think of David Copperfield as a Victorian novel. I think of it like it's the Peanuts or the Simpsons

#text post #dickens #david copperfield #last week i was talking to some friends abt how i had reread david copperfield and it was the best thing that ever happened to me #and i was telling them that dickens is so good at physicalizing and characterizing ppl that i never had trouble remembering names #there are what over 100 named characters in that book? the cast is huge #the only one who never leaves the page for any interval is david himself #so many diverse settings and characters. and as soon as one opens their mouth #youre like oh i remember when i last saw you it was at yarmouth #it's so good!!! and most importantly it is SO FUNNY #every era in his life feels so significant and you can feel how much he cares abt his ties to ppl and places #as much as those ppl and places are constantly changing. #ned @sneez and i have been catching up and part of the message he sent me was #'im reading david copperfield right now. i believe that is a book that you really like?' #BOY DO YOU REMEMBER CORRECTLY!!! i havent even told him about my reread yet #i was too busy talking abt shakespeare. but oh i was gonna get to dickens
