The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens - I have a goal to read a book by Dickens every year. In late 2018, I realized I wouldn't have time to read The Pickwick Papers but found an inexpensive audiobook. I've learned I have more time to listen than to read on an average week, putting on bluetooth headphones while I cook, wash dishes, and fold laundry. (Note that my youngest is eight and unlikely to wreck the house like a toddler.) This book is not my favorite Dickens; it's a bit disjointed (because it's actually a collection of stories Dickens wrote without regard for continuity) and sometimes the stories are less interesting than others. But when it's good, it's hilarious. I did have a problem with the audiobook. The last page or two of one of the chapters was missing. I happened to have a copy of the book and was able to look it up. I don't think it was a purposeful abridgment as the missing pages contained significant events and the audiobook is labeled "unabridged." I suppose it's possible there were other parts missing that I didn't notice. (purchased Audible book)
