Thank you for your very kind answer. I knew already that anecdote about Johnson and the Anatomy of Melancholy. But I puzzles me the more... because I found this big book really boring. At least I wouldn't be ready to get up 2 hours earlier to (re)read it!
I think I have to decide now and have a try to read the Life of Johnson. But it will be postponed to next year, since I plan to read Claire Tomalin's Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn's Diary first.
Thanks again.

I'm amazed by the number of books by Boswell in your catalogue! I'm reading the London Journal, which I find very funny and very neatly written. I was looking forward to buy the Life of Johnson (that you rate 4 or 5 stars). But I'm afraid that it's less easy reading, because Johnson's comments quoted in the London Journal are sometimes obscure (at least to me). Did you find the Life of Johnson much more interesting than the London Journal?
