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?
We read Oliver Twist in high school.
What have you read?
Oliver Twist
Have you heard of any (other) Dickens novels?
A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, The Pickwick Papers
Why have you not read them?
I didn't enjoy Oliver Twist that much.
You are aware that it is one of his earliest books?
What is your perception of Dickens?
Verbose Victorian. Mildly funny if you can dredge through the wordiness. PLEASE SIR, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE???
That line does seem to stick with people.
Have you seen any film/series versions of Dickens' novels?
I watched part of a terrible Oliver Twist movie once before turning it off. Also, I have seen the musical Oliver! And the A Tale of Two Cities Wishbone episode.
Wishbone?
Pick one word that you connect with Dickens. What is it?
Victorian Orphans
Those are two words
