Okay, so I didn't get very far in David Copperfield. Just far enough to see the writing on the wall that his new home was going to become a miserable experience (c'mon, it's Charles Dickens).
Fortunately for me, a book came in from my Library that I had put a hold on, and I read that gladly instead: A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers is the recently-published sequel to The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, and was a very good read for me. The characters in this book are secondary from the first, and frankly, there is little reference to the said first book, but it is useful to have read them in order.
At any rate, my reading has slowed down a bit due to personal issues and the fact that I am playing Minecraft every few days (and getting my butt handed to me in single-player mode).
Meanwhile, I have started a favorite short read, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynn Truss.
