by Charles Dickens
I have long memories of reading David Copperfield over the summer preparing for freshman year of high school honors English, and painstakingly writing a paragraph response after every chapter. Needless to say, I have this dread of Dickens.
Well, did I miss out! Dickens actually has a sense of humor in a subdued sort of way. I really enjoyed reading this, even if it was a little predictable, but hey, even Pride and Prejudice is predictable. I will definitely check out some of his other books in the future, especially as I can access them for free on my Googlebooks app for my iPhone. Makes reading in bed when the hubby is asleep a whole lot easier than messing with a book light!
So now it is on to my resolution of the year--the Bible. I'll keep you posted as I'm going from front cover to back cover just like a novel, and if I didn't give you updates, you'd never hear from me.

Dickens is actually one of my favorite authors, and Great Expectations one of my favorite novels. One of the books I hope to read later this year is A Christmas Carol, as I've only ever seen the movie, and I wonder how closely it follows the book.
Enjoy the Bible. It's worth it. Remember, 12 pages a day and you'll finish it in 90 days.
