Link humus-plate / pimp me like the dickens

In our irregular series of filthy-minded poets, [livejournal.com profile] angevin2 brings us 16th century hot boar-on-boy love.

I've finished only one novel by Charles Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities, and that was back in high school. David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, and Bleak House all lost my attention partway though, though I otherwise kinda liked the last. It's not a Victorian allergy -- I read Trollope and Gaskell with joy, and like Thackery and Collins well enough. I'm feeling the vague desire to try again, so a challenge: convince me with your recommendation to try another.
