It was surprisingly good, wasn't it?<br />The Moonstone is really good but I highly recommend Armadale if you want to read Collins at his best.<br />And two Dickens in one month is brave! I'll be reading a lot of Dickens in the coming year but I'm going to need some good filler books in between. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-24416291595319550132012-01-03T15:55:03.113-05:002012-01-03T15:55:03.113-05:00The Moonstone is really good.

I'm probably in the minority, though.<br /><br />I'll probably be reading The Moonstone and Middlemarch in 2012 also.

Great idea to save <em>The Moonstone</em> for the fall--that's when I'm planning on reading <em>The Woman in White</em>. I'm also really excited it's Shakespeare month (yay!) and have some Dickens and ancient Greeks planned for this year that I'm really looking forward to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-20175676631544296512012-01-03T13:51:15.489-05:002012-01-03T13:51:15.489-05:00Ooooh, I hope you LOVE Les Miserables.

Sorry, that wasn't helpful- I clearly mean, the books of theirs that I had to read were terrible, BUT the ones you're reading could be great :).<br />Also, Anna Karenina is fabulous!
