It took me almost 2 years to read this because it was my "found-it-on-a-MUST-read-classics-list-but-it-seems-boring" backup pile.
That being said. I am so ashamed of myself for profiling and missing out on this book for so long. I LOVED this book.
The only way I can describe it is Hitchhiker's Guide for an 18th century British classic.
I felt like it started slow but in reality I didn't know what I was reading.
This book is funny, absurd, ridiculous, witty and so smart!!!
His mastery of satire and parody is amazing. It checks all my boxes for my British obsession, history, comedy, classic symbolism, quick wit and it just makes you think.
The problem now is finding another book that is similar!
