Great read. Your description of Hogarth's A Midnight Modern Conversation reminded me of an evening of absinthe filled merriment where I set a table on fire. With the absinthe. The results were both tragic and hilarious. As for Dickens, he's one of the writers that I've grown to appreciate the most as I've matured. I try to include one of his books in my reading every year. This year it's Bleak House, which sounds rather cheery I must say.
