A Christmas Carol and Nicholas Nickleby.
There were parts of Great Expectations that I enjoyed but I found it too wordy.
I do intend to pick up more of his books and read them, but not things like Martin Chuzzlewit.
And no, I have no plans for Dickens Day, other than getting my hair cut and buying baby things. He'd probably approve, though, since I'll be doing those things in the murky environs of Leith. (In the gleaming sunshine. I'm a little terrified of this weather.)

I think I can safely say I'll read at least one "new" Dickens novel this year. Hopefully more.

I'm engaged in Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, for all intents and purposes, and cannot spare time.

I want to read Bleak House one day. Mainly so I can feel superior about Scots law. *NM*

Yeah, sheep aren't considered "persons" for purposes of English law, are they?

Don't forget that the southerly jurisdiction is actually "England and Wales".

But you have more of them than Wales does, even if Wales has a higher human to sheep density. *NM*

Are you telling me you've actually researched the sheep populations of Scotland and Wales?
