And I have tried twice to get through BLEAK HOUSE to no avail. That said, I loved both A CHRISTMAS CAROL and OLIVER TWIST. So, I plan on reading at least one of his books this year in celebration of his 200th birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-21376747407110782942012-02-07T21:53:07.402-07:002012-02-07T21:53:07.402-07:00And don't you like the movies?

I haven't read any of his books but The Christmas Carol. I have seen lots of the movies based on the books, though.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-78212514301085845282012-02-07T20:09:59.123-07:002012-02-07T20:09:59.123-07:00For me, Dickens is simply da bomb.

As for <i>Tale</i>, I loved how Dickens just pulled Sydney from the outfield and right back into the plot...oooooh great goodness!Uomo di Speranzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611503055044491078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-58992409359997840872012-02-07T20:07:52.063-07:002012-02-07T20:07:52.063-07:00Lol - I didn't know it was Dickens birthday un...Lol - I didn't know it was Dickens birthday until after I got off work. Every time I had to do a Google search on something I was so confused as to why they had their logo done up as A Christmas Carol!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.com
