Does anyone else struggle with finishing a good classic book because you know it is good for you to read it? Why is this taking me forever????? I really liked it in the beginning but went on vacation and now I can't get back into it. Any suggestions from those of you who have read it? Help me, please!!! 😂
Working through a backlog of Sunday newspaper supplements, I came across this great article, Is Dickens better than Shakespeare? 🤔

#WhatTheDickens @Cuilin
“There are many pleasant fictions of the law in constant operation, but there is not one so pleasant or practically humorous as that which supposes every man to be of equal value in its impartial eye, and the benefits of all laws to be equally attainable by all men, without the smallest reference to the furniture of their pockets.”

pickFor the most part I really enjoyed this one. There were so many interesting characters, and I enjoyed seeing Nicholas grow. I also appreciated how the different storylines came together for both him and his uncle in the end.

I‘ve been listening to a lot of other things lately and realized this weekend that I really should try to wrap up this audiobook before I start The Last of the Mohicans. I listened this afternoon as I enjoyed the beautiful weather and passed the halfway mark. Spending several hours with the story this weekend also helped me become more invested in some of the characters than when I listen to shorter sections at a time.

I‘m tagging my favorite book this month. It‘s one of the two chunksters (500 & 600+ pages) I read this month. I read 3 books by Roxane Gay for #authoramonth, 4 for #Nepal #foodandlit, and 1 for #whattheDickens.
pickAnother chunkster from the #1001books list. ✅. Whenever I read Dickens, it seems my opinion of whoever else I‘m reading at the same time (I never have just ONE book going 😱) is immediately lowered. Also, my command of the English language is dismal. 😕
