Vanity Fair

“The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.”
Why It Matters
Thackeray built the great anti-novel of the Victorian age — a story with no hero, driven by Becky Sharp, one of fiction's greatest social climbers. It is the definitive satire of English class obsession, greed, and the gap between how people present themselves and who they actually are. Dickens gave you sentiment; Thackeray gave you the corrective.
The 
Take
Personal reviewVery fun book where nobody is a hero, dragged on a little, and too much description of side characters stuff IMO. I liked the narrator style though
