Today: (Feb 7th 2012) marks 200yrs since the birth of Charles Dickens, which of his many works would you list as your favourite?

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, . . .”

Hmm, sounds like now, doesn’t it?

I had an awesome Jr High English experience. I had a class that was dedicated to reading Great Expectations. I think I was more lost in that book than I have ever been before or since. Just thinking about it takes me into Miss Havishams cobweb covered dining hall.

A Christmas Carol is one of my 5 favorite stories, along with Hamlet, Ulysses, Harry Potter, and Pinocchio.

We read A Christmas Carol yearly (at least) and watch various versions of it regularly.

Oliver Twist! : )

I’m gonna go with A Christmas Carol. I saw at least 4 versions of it last year, including the one with Mr. Magoo! I need to bust out the book again.

A Tale of Two Cities and David Copperfield.

A Tale of Two Cities is my favorite. I read it in elementary school, and I remember being awed by it and terrified of its contents at the same time.

It has to be Great Expectations for me.

@MilkyWay and I had such great expectations for that book… :P

You think you’re funny, don’t you? I seriously expected more from you. ~

I know… I thought it was funny, but it’s really snot
