I think Dickens might become one of my favorite authors - just need to read some more of his works before I can say so for certain.

I simply have no time at the moment, but I keep buying new books.<br />It's really mean of you to make me add another one!<br /><br />Okay, resistance broken, off to Amazon! :DCassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-28204541454050629962012-02-02T20:59:21.573-05:002012-02-02T20:59:21.573-05:00I bought this one but I'm not opening it until...I bought this one but I'm not opening it until his birthday ... only a few more days!

I plan to read A Tale of Two Cities this year.<br /><br />As soon as I saw this post, I immediately thought of that unfinished painting that you included at the end. I was so happy to see it! Even though I don't love Dickens, I still love that picture. What's the name of it (and who painted it, do you know)? I've been hoping to find a place that sells it in poster form or something.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554159799948830921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-68621015854690873652012-02-01T12:39:13.099-05:002012-02-01T12:39:13.099-05:00Oh, wow, that looks like a lovely book.

When I was in London I visited his home/museum and got to see the original of the painting you show at the bottom of your post. I love that one.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-9382433198692802542012-02-01T10:30:35.546-05:002012-02-01T10:30:35.546-05:00That looks like such a pretty book!
