Humphrey Clinker - Tobias Smollett
This is an entertainingly relaxed account of a journey around Britain taken by a good-natured Gentleman and his eccentric family. The plot is negligible but the characterisation is excellent, and the humour is reminiscent of the formally similar Don Quixote.

It has been twenty years since I read "Humphrey Clinker". I still recalled being super impressed by some of the set descriptive pieces in the book.
