But I know a lot of people that were, which I think is interesting. I tried A Christmas Carol when I was younger, but I was really too young for it. It's probably the only good one because he wasn't get paid for his word count, so it's significantly shorter. Also, he wrote it with time constraints and all in one volume, as opposed to all of his other books that he wrote in weekly/monthly installments.Cassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730406902174444302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-63742483710433790292012-12-17T13:23:55.192-05:002012-12-17T13:23:55.192-05:00I had to read Great Expectations for school and ab...I had to read Great Expectations for school and absolutely hated it. I want to say I also had to read A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist, but I can't remember if I did or not. I've seen several film versions of Oliver Twist, which has always been of interest to me on a social level due to the (typical of the time) negative portrayal of Jews. (Fagan is supposedly Jewish, or at least the adaptions do their best to make him appear that way, as stereotypical as possible. I can't recall if that's true in the book or not).AnnaPeg88https://www.blogger.com/profile/13952784947641221669noreply@blogger.com
