Following with my common habit of assigning to each of my favorite authors an adjective, defining, in a sense, the emotion or sensation that arises deep in my breast upon reading his or her work, I cannot find a better description to ascribe Dickens with but by announcing that his work is 'delicious', and if I were to be as vivid as is possible with describing my prevalent feeling I experienced while reading this book, it would be that I felt I was softly sinking, or rather drowning, in a sea of letters, encompassing me with an overwhelming feeling of jubilation and euphoria.
