Life and Vincent: Happy Birthday Charlie

Tuesday, February 07, 2012

It can't have escaped many people's notice that today is Charles Dickens' 200th birthday.

Have a great one, Charlie boy.

Sadly, I'm really not fond of your prose...

JoJo said...: I'll be honest, I've read Dickens and it's always been a stuggle. A Christmas Carol was the only easy read. But happy birthday to Charlie!; 11:35 pm

vikeau said...: "Great Expectation" has always been my favorite. For all the rest I either watched the movie or read the "Cliff Notes". Had to get through high school english some how.; 1:08 pm
val said...: I escaped, Vikeau, my set books were a couple of Shakespeares, some Chaucer, some Byron, and Under Milk Wood. No Dickens in sight.; 2:08 pm

Eliza said...: I've never understood the attraction of Dickens, his books are a struggle for me so I don't bother with them anymore; 8:52 pm
vikeau said...: Love "Oliver" the musical. I live on a square(a park). Some mornings its just so beautiful, it reminds me of Oliver and I'll skip down my steps singing "Who will Buy". Probably why nobody ever bothers me. Never read the novel. LOL; 3:52 am
