All the discussion of slang in today's chapter reminded me of this article from 2019. It's not necessarily related to the book, but I found it interesting. My brain goes down weird rabbit holes sometimes. 🙃

In Chapter 5, we see more of Tom Pinch‘s sweetness and generosity when he meets Pecksniff‘s new pupil—none other than young Martin Chuzzlewit! Tom immediately takes to him and is unperturbed to find himself crowded uncomfortably into the carriage with Martin‘s luggage. My favorite part is Tom‘s visit to the bookstore: “all those rows on rows of volumes, neatly ranged within—what happiness did they suggest!” (78). Tom‘s a reader!!❤️

pickA quick short novel. The author certainly knows how to tell a tale. The characters were somewhat amusing and entertaining. I read it in one afternoon. 4/5⭐️

@BarkingMadRead This book is quite large. And you say it‘s only 15 chapters?! 😨 I hope the print is big…
All set for #hashtagbrigade September buddyread.

I got this beauty out from the library for this month‘s #HashtagBrigade read. It looks like it could tell some tales!
pickWilder‘s works always seem quite melancholy. The characters are well drawn. Thoughtful and quiet. If I could have dinner with an author, this wouldn‘t be the one. He is quite grim.
