I tend not to give as much credit to Dickens but he’s a good author and I’m sure there’s a time and place for reading his work, but certainly not exclusively. However, I do feel like Austen is a bit more wholesome…perhaps superfluity of fluff is to be preferred to overabundance of darkness.

And of course read neither exclusively or without this perspective.
