This is worth reading again, because it wasn't until I was a fair way in that I realised the underlying sexual innuendo. The story purports to be about Tristam Shandy, but we're a long way in before Tristam even gets born, and the story ends when Tristam is still a child.
What's interesting in this novel is the characters and their relationships: Tristam's father and mother, his Uncle Toby, Yorick, Corporal Trim and Widow Wadman are all lovable, if flawed, human beings.
