I feel like a party pooper, but I won't be reading Bleak House. I've read it once and didn't like it enough for a reread. If it were shorter I wouldn't mind, but life (and summer) are too fleeting for such a time sink. Anyway, Paola and I have to get cracking on Magic Mountain, our beach read.
I look forward to reading the commentary, however, and perhaps it will engender a new appreciation in me for the bulky tome.
