David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

David is the reason I haven't read much else in the past few weeks. Had I known how long the book is, I probably would have found an excuse to not read it, but in many ways I'm glad I made the effort. I signed up for a 4-week class on DC when I realized I'd never really read anything by Dickens. How did I get through high school and college and manage to avoid Tale of Two Cities? Anyway, the class was outstanding, and I'm glad I plowed (and skimmed) my way through David Copperfield. I didn't realize that there would be humor in the book, and I enjoyed that part. And Dickens does create some wonderful characters and brings them to life. - June
