I hope you will read Swift's.I will speak of Dr. Johnson later, but here is a quote from him about the book: "There is nothing to read but giants and little men." , but this assessment is nonsense.Witty and sarcastic, deftly inventive, endlessly humorous, savagely ironic and exuberant.This style of writing is admirable.No one has made our difficult language so concise, accessible, and natural as Swift.I wish Dr. Johnson could say of Swift what he said of another writer: "Anyone who wants to write English without vulgarity, with elegance without pomp, must study Addison." Add a third pair of adjectives: strong but not conceited.
