What a great book! Of course how to go wrong with Dickens? It's easy to see how it was written in installments and put out a bit at a time because you'll get a lot of those mid story cliff hangers just like you do in a tv series. Also, just like watching netflix, you can turn the page and keep moving on, or flip the page and keep reading if you just can't put it down! :-) 
 I really found this book very insightful and entertaining. I've got loads of favorite quotes below. I'm realizing many are reminiscent of key characters throughout the book that I've chosen to remember. Dickens sometimes gets a bad rap of being accused of writing caricatures; however, I feel there is great value and enjoyment that comes from the way he writes his characters. I agree with another goodreads member Audrey, who I participated in a reading of this book with, who said "I don't struggle with the way Dickens writes in caricatures, to me it is about emphasising aspects of a personality that he wants us to consider and reflect upon." 
 Part of the reason I found this book so meaningful is because when I read it I saw people in my own life, and aspects of my own personality. Reading this book helped me think through and ponder about those people and about myself. 
 With Dicken's wonderful character portrayals you begin to love some characters and hate others, and you dive deeper into understanding why characters act the way they do. Cass, another member in this goodreads group I participated in stated "This is exactly what fiction is about. We are talking about the act of judging, but we are also (throughout the judging process) passively gaining a greater understanding of humanity, and increased empathy." 
 Great book, totally recommend it! I also recommend watching the 2005 tv mini series with Burn Gorman and his perfect portrayal of Mr. Guppy! :-) 
 Here's some favorite quotes: 
 -"Mr. Guppy suspects everybody....of entertaining... Sinister designs upon him....he in the most ingenious manner takes infinite pains to counterplot, where there is no plot; and plays the deepest games of chess without any adversary" 
 -- Charles Dickens, Bleak House 
 "..."The plain rule is, to do nothing in the dark, to be party to nothing under-handed or mysterious, and never to put his foot down where he cannot see ground." 
 -- Charles Dickens, 
 "Mrs. Rouncewell holds this opinion because she considers that a family of such antiquity and importance has a right to a ghost. She regards a ghost as one of the privileges of the upper classes, a genteel distinction to which the common people have no claim." 
 -- Charles Dickens, Bleak House 
 "There were two classes of charitable people: one, the people who did a little and made a great deal of noise; the other, the people who did a great deal and made no noise at all." 
 -- Charles Dickens, Bleak House 
 "I don't feel any vulgar gratitude to you[for helping me]. I almost feel as if You ought to be grateful to ME, for giving you the opportunity of enjoying the luxury of generosity. . . I may have come into the world expressly for the purpose of increasing your stock of happiness. I may have been born to be a benefactor to you, by giving you an opportunity of assisting me. " 
 -- Charles Dickens, Bleak House 
 "The present representative of the Dedlocks is an excellent master. He supposes all his dependents to be utterly bereft of individual characters, intentions, or opinions, and is persuaded that he was born to supersede the necessity of their having any. If he were to make a discovery to the contrary, he would be simply stunned -- would never recover himself, most likely, except to gasp and die." 
 -- Charles Dickens, Bleak House 
 "Whenever a person says to you that they are as innocent as lambs in all concerning money, look well after your own money, for they are dead certain to collar it, if they can. Whenever a person proclaims to you 'In worldly matters I'm a child,' you consider that that person is only a crying off from being held accountable, and that you have got that person's number, and it's Number One. Now, I am not a poetical man myself, except in a vocal way, when it goes round a company, but I'm a practical one, and that's my experience. So's this rule. Fast and loose in one thing, Fast and loose in everything. I never knew it fail. No more will you. Nor no one." 
 -- Charles Dickens, Bleak House
