SNAKES N CAKES

I started Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy in late 2005, and I finally finished it about a month ago.

I thought it worked great as a historical as well as a literary experiment - the storytelling is based on constant digression, so there's actually not much of a plot in there, and rather a string of anecdotes.
But this works well with the generally playful tone of the writing, and the end result is an extremely entertaining and enjoyable book :)
