Read every book written by Charles Dickens

Also read the Christmas Books. I liked A Christmas Carol, it was fun to read after seeing so many versions of the story in movie form. I am a big fan of the muppet version, and it’s really fun to read how many direct quotes from the book there are. It also has some brilliant lines. My favorite quote: ”...You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you.’

There’s two more stories in the Christmas books, but they didn’t really do much for me.

Edit: I just read through my list and saw the 3 Christmas Book stories are mentioned seperately, so it’s 3 down! Woohoo! Just 25 to go!

I’ve listen to a few unabridged on CD/tape, but I plan to read them properly later at some point too…
