my father has an incredible amount of novels he's acquired over the years and he has a lot of charles dickens ... i've never read a charles dickens novel myself so last night i decided i would, so i started with one i knew a little about which is "A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings" ... so i've finished the first chapter and i just put it down for a bit and i like it so far ...

obviously i know all about Ebeneezer Scrooge and i've seen the movie on the book so this isn't foreing to me

Tale of Two Cities was an excellent book, I really liked Oliver Twist too.

Dickens is the shit, yo.

My fave that I've read so far is Great Expectations. I own a whole bunch of his novels, but have only made my way through a few of them thus far. I plan to tackle another one soon. I love the language employed during the period he penned his tales. I wish people still talked like that.

Copperfield is a good one. You should enjoy that. There's a hilarious fight scene in it.

Tale of Two Cities is a great story, but I like his use of humour, which is not present in that particular tale.
