Just got it, plan to read it...all 1533 pages of the bastard...

Is that the epistolary one?  Yes, but, to tell you the truth, I
confuse it a little now with _Fanny Hill_, which I read about the same
time.  I liked _Tom Jones_ better.

Yes.

No, in my case, but...

yes, but from what I read _about_ Clarissa I'd not have expected them
to be easily confused; I read Fanny Hill when I was about 20 and was
very impressed, less so when I read it again 20 years later. Tom Jones
I enjoyed a lot -- I read it before the film was made, as my sister was
assigned it to read for her English class at school.

Yes - all of it, although it was tempting to start skipping towards the end.
