Dickens scholars:

Does anyone have a copy of Sanders, Dickens and the Spirit of the Age (OUP 1999) to hand? If so, could you help me checking a quotation for me?

When it comes to visual arts I prefer entertainment.

My last trip to the theatre was to see the Ukulele orchestra of Great Britain.

Before that, it was Stephen Fry in Bleak Expectations (a parody of Great Expectations).

It took me 200 pages to get into but holy cow, Bleak House is a masterpiece.

For those New Year's diet resolutions:

"...that the blended scents of tea and coffee were so grateful to the nose, or even that the raisins were so plentiful and rare, the almonds so extremely white, the sticks of cinnamon so long and straight, the other spices so delicious, the candied fruits so caked and spotted with molten sugar as to make the coldest lookers-on feel faint..."
