I received some inspiration from Melissa Wiley‘s blog yesterday. She was stating her intention to spend the year with Charles Dickens. Reading his novels in order of publication seems a daunting task to me but I was inspired to pick my copy of Oliver Twist off the shelf where it has languished for many a year and begin. I was quickly immersed.
So maybe not a whole year of Dickens but definitely Oliver Twist, The Pickwick Papers, David Copperfield and perhaps The Old Curiosity Shop.
Alice Gunther says
David Copperfield is my favorite book in the world. So brilliant.
There is nothing like going on a Dickens kick!
