Dickens is one of my favourite authors of all times, even though I admit that there are sometimes more words in his sentences than necessary ;)<br />The wonderful thing about his books is that you can really sink into them and let the words wash over you like waves, if that makes any sense. Besides, he builds his books up slowly, so even though they might seem a little boring in the beginning I guarantee you that you will be rewarded with a thrilling and absolutely surprising finale if you make it until the last third of the book.<br />Since today is Charles's birthday, I am eager to spread the Dickens-Love!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-28900633498147843572012-02-07T00:59:06.629+01:002012-02-07T00:59:06.629+01:00I would like to re-read this one.

Like all great words, it can be badly misused, as in the French Revolution. But when people gain power, they almost always abuse it somehow. I think there's a tyrant in all of us.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-27508951137947145582012-02-05T23:22:55.092+01:002012-02-05T23:22:55.092+01:00A Tale of Two Cities is one of my all time favouri...A Tale of Two Cities is one of my all time favourites. There was a period in my life in which I would read almost nothing but Dickens, and in this - rather long - fraction of time, I have grown immensly attached to this book. I am delighted to hear that you seem to have found as much pleasure in reading it as I did. I don't know how it works for you, but for me, this specific book gets more thrilling and moving each time I reread it.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441866105023883090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-58712037499998242812012-02-05T23:12:59.159+01:002012-02-05T23:12:59.159+01:00How wonderful that you are reading Dickens!

Your enthusiasm is inspiring me to give him another try!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.com
