Bleak House by Charles Dickens 🔖🔖


This one took me several months to read, nearly 1000 pages, and it was not necessarily interesting to me. Long, boring, too many characters, too much misogyny and patriarchy and Victorianism - I know, it's the time it was lived. One narrator was boring, the other was self absorbed. Would not recommend. I did not miss the symbolism of the long, arduous, tedious writing amounting to almost nothing which was commentary on the legal system. I just did not appreciate the book overall.
