CORRECTION: The earlier version had very few paragraph breaks.
I don't know how this got by me, but it's now been remedied. I've gone to a different file and started a complete new version. Version 1.5 has the paragraph breaks.
_____________________________________________
This 18th C. picaresque novel is a lot of fun to read, mostly because (for me), I love
Smollett's uncompromising view of humanity and the way in which he portrays his characters - whether they be rogues, vagabonds, scoundrels, or landed gentry.
If you enjoy this kind of novel (or approaching it for the first time and find you enjoy it), you might also want to read the other
Smollett title I asembled: The
Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, a long rambling picaresque that you can take to the beach - hahaha.)
"Roderick Random" also has chapter headings, some quite lengthy, but this time I decided not to include those sub-headings within the Contents Page.
I plan to do all the
Tobias Smollett I can lay my hands on. I personally enoy him much better than
Henry Fielding - another great writer - but my preference for
Smollett is probably indicative of the roguishness in my own character
.
I hope you enjoy this book.
Please list for me any proof-reading problems. Thank you.
