Hard Times

I recently finished Hard Times by Charles Dickens. It was a delight to read as Dickens makes fun of what I think is called Pragmatism. I found the book funny and insightful. My only complaint is that I did not see poetic justice. Yes, the bad guys lose or reform in the end, but those who are wronged are not righted. Despite this minor annoyance, the characters are rich and engaging.
