It's not a good idea to sign up for a tour just because there's a tour. I'd much rather read a book I want to read.<br /><br />I am a bit intimidated by Dickens too. I think that's part of why I haven't read more by him at this point. I'll definitely make a point of reading Great Expectations. Thank you for the recommendation. :-)<br /><br /><b>Diane</b> - Thanks! I really want to go back and read The Dante Club and The Poe Shadow now. I have both books in my TBR collection. Just need to dig them out. :-) <br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - Thank you so much! I had the librarian from The Mummy in my head as I read about Rebecca. LOL<br /><br /><b>Alessandra</b> - Thank you! I definitely want to read The Tale of Two Cities one day. I hear it is one of his best. Hopefully I will read all of his books eventually. :-) <br /><br /><b>etirv</b>, <b>Pam</b>, <b>Jo-Jo</b>, & <b>Anonymous(bgcchs)</b> - Thank you for entering!<br /><br /><b>Beatriz</b> - There is nothing wrong with being a lurker. :-) I am glad you read my blog. Thanks for entering! <br /><br /><b>Rebecca</b> - You've been extra busy, so I understand. I'm glad you dropped by though. :-)<br /><br />I bet that was a great experience, to visit Dickens' house. Hopefully someday I'll get a chance to do that too. I hope you'll be able to upload the photos from your trip. <br /><br /><b>Melody</b> - Thank you, Melody!

If I hadn't already wanted to read his books, I definitely would after reading that. <br /><br /><b>Lilly</b> - Oliver was probably a little too good to be true, but he's such an adorable boy. It's impossible not to like him.<br /><br />I am really looking forward to reading The Poe Shadow and The Dante Club, but I've heard a few people say that The Dante Club is his best book so far. Have you read that one yet?<br /><br /><b>Molly</b> - I would probably have read all three of the books together had this tour not come along. I do want to read Drood, but I don't yet have a copy.<br /><br /><b>Myckyee</b> - I'm glad I finally got a chance to read one of his books. <br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - I hope you will enjoy it if you do read it!<br /><br /><b>Dar</b> - Thank you! It is making the rounds this month in the blogosphere. I'm behind in reading the reviews. <br /><br />Oliver Twist is such a great story. I can't wait to read A Christmas Carol.<br /><br /><b>Frances</b> - Thank you! I understand. I often forget details between the time I read a book and a review, so I don't usually worry too much about minor spoilers. It's the big ones that bother me. Fortunately, I don't know too many people who give those away without proper warning.<br /><br /><b>Merri</b> - I wish I had had to read Dickens in school. I might have had a chance to read more by him by now. I'll have to look for Pickwick Papers. That might even be in my omnibus. <br /><br /><b>Amy</b> - He's one of those authors we probably feel we should have read more of, isn't he? <br /><br />There is quite a bit going on in The Last Dickens. It definitely makes for interesting reading.<br /><br /><b>Bookshelf Monstrosity</b>,<b>Chad</b>, <b>edmontonjb</b> - Thank you so much! <br /><br /><b>Llehn</b> & <b>alitareads</b> - I've added you in! <br /><br /><b>Christine</b> & <b>Kathleen</b> Thank you! Good luck!<br /><br /><b>Lisa</b> - I am looking forward to reading more of Dickens' work (and Matthew Pearl's). <br /><br /><b>Gwendolyn</b> - I need to go back and check out the tour stops I've skipped because I was still reading this one. I'm glad I got to be a part of the tour.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
