That's just a small fraction of my reading list from the library. <br /><br />I'm hit or miss with Mr. Dickens. I loved The Old Curiosity Shop and A Christmas Carol, (I read it every Christmas.) And I like A Tale of Two Cities, although... I think I remember a carriage fatality in that one. But I hated Great Expectations. I didn't like it when I read it in high school, and I didn't like in college either... and I doubt I'd like it now. There's just not one single person I like in that novel. They all deserve their fate.Theresa Rohrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632846845046577754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406569620166140304.post-50159578363509971442011-06-13T10:55:13.733-07:002011-06-13T10:55:13.733-07:00I love Miss Marpole!

Me and Dickon's writing style just DO not get along! We've run a chap over with our carriage, time for bread and milk..... ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944679291709892626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406569620166140304.post-68695739281034917382011-06-13T09:02:07.033-07:002011-06-13T09:02:07.033-07:00Ooh, I've wanted to read Up From Slavery!

I try to mix the long sad ones up with short happy ones. I can tell #1 and #3 are going to take a long time getting through too. I've liked the Pickwick Papers so far, but it hasn't grabbed me yet. It really does lack a plot and I've no idea where we're going.Theresa Rohrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632846845046577754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406569620166140304.post-41317584667628556602011-06-13T08:02:27.812-07:002011-06-13T08:02:27.812-07:00# 4 & 5 should go pretty quick (2 of my favort...# 4 & 5 should go pretty quick (2 of my favorties!)but if you start on 8 be prepared for a bit of a long ride. I remember that one being a slow read. Such a heart wrenching story that at times it's hard to get through.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219179230342390864noreply@blogger.com
