Note to self: While taking books you want to reread and write reviews for and putting them in the bathroom to be read over a month or so is a good idea, before you embark on this in the future, take a good look at the book. Is it monstrously long? Then it may not be ideal bathroom reading.Not only i...

A most excellent book. Rather a shame that I didn't discover Dickens until the twilight (rather a long one, I expect) of my life. Although this book is not quite as good as Great Expectations, it's close. Basically, it follows the life of David Copperfield from youth to adulthood. There are lots of ...

Well, I generally hate books that have a happy ending. In this case, I can see why people are annoyed with Dickens. Everything is so neat and tidy, good always wins out over evil in the end, and the implausible number of deaths of discovery of illegal activities to clear the way for people to succee...

By his own description, David Copperfield was Dickens's favorite novel and the one closest to his heart, with the eponymous main character being, while not Dickens himself, obviously based on the author. David Copperfield's father dies before he is born, and his mother, while loving and doting, is a...
