As to being "faithful" about blogging - sometimes life interferes with blogging, doesn't it? Fortunately, people tend to show up when you post. <BR/><BR/>Nat,<BR/><BR/>I loved the writing; I just realized that the setting was certainly not going to lend itself to the words "upbeat" and "fun"--the things I'm looking for in a book, right now. The Pickwick Papers is really light-hearted and silly, so it works better for me. <BR/><BR/>I finished The Bleeding Dusk, yesterday -- couldn't put that sucker down. If you enjoyed the first two, you'll love the third. :)<BR/><BR/>Jenclair,<BR/><BR/>It's going to take me forever to read The Pickwick Papers (my copy has 701 pages, I believe) but it's such a fun, fluffy book. Dickens had a great sense of humor. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-67382245555266330942008-01-20T09:43:00.000-06:002008-01-20T09:43:00.000-06:00I've never read The Pickwick Papers and so look fo...I've never read The Pickwick Papers and so look forward to your review!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-57242576273391152012008-01-20T04:27:00.000-06:002008-01-20T04:27:00.000-06:00That's too bad about A Tale of Two Cities.

There's a great little scene where a fellow starts babbling about how great a cold steak is for a black eye (because he's just broken up a fight) and then he starts to ramble about how a lamppost also works nicely but it looks a bit odd holding your eye up to a lamppost for 30 minutes. And, I thought, "Oh, yeah. This is what I want to read!"Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-15504533676156641362008-01-19T15:01:00.000-06:002008-01-19T15:01:00.000-06:00I'm looking forward to your thoughts on The Pickwi...I'm looking forward to your thoughts on The Pickwick Papers.
