Eighteenth-century novels are such fun! I haven't read Tom Jones yet, but I'm in the middle of Tristram Shandy—a similarly long book with short chapters; I'm working through it a volume at a time, taking breaks for other books in between—at the moment, and it's definitely fascinating and enjoyable. What sorts of interesting assumptions about the reader is Fielding/the narrator making?
