Oh... jh Send a noteboard - 13/06/2011 07:24:02 PM
I am constructing a course on Dickens, and so started wondering what I could expect people to have read. I would therefore be very happy if you could reply even if you haven't read anything.

Have you read any Dickens?


Yes.

What have you read?


Oliver Twist
David Copperfield

Have you heard of any (other) Dickens novels?


pickwick papers
bleak house
a tale of two cities
nicholas nickleby
a christmas carol
great expectations

Why have you not read them?


I am not sure if I have or not. My Dickens' reading period was quite a while ago, and we old people can't remember everything we read in the early 90s. :(

What is your perception of Dickens?


Classic :P

Have you seen any film/series versions of Dickens' novels?


Well, A christmas carol, of course. Oliver Twist, probably.

Pick one word that you connect with Dickens. What is it?


TARDIS :P
