You can vote for your favourite Dickens novel too. I voted for The Pickwick Papers, which makes a discerning 4% of us so far.

Have you read them all, David?

I've read Pickwick, Copperfield and Two Cities. Pickwick I enjoyed, the other two were mostly crap.

I think I might have done. If you're at all interested, give Bleak House a go - it's not mostly crap, to say the least.
