Bleak House general guys. So what about this Dickens guy, is social realism the shittiest mode to haunt literature or what.

My grandfather was like him, a bro.

And now my prehistory teacher does the same thing, we can waste hours talking about random things: literature, social sciences (history, anthropology and economy usually) and nice places to go.

He gave me I, Claudius as a christmas gift, best gift ever!
