Though most of my class hated MOby (if they even read it) I LOVED it.

How anyone could think A Tale of Two Cities boring is beyond me. You must not like to read.

Love to read. At least one novel a week. Guess I just like more contemporary 'stuff'.

It's not held in high regard by Dickens scholars either. When I read Dickens I want to read about the London demimonde. But Historical novels about the French Revolution? Interestingly enough his only other Historical novel, Barnaby Rudge, is the least read and regarded of them all. Not a single film version exists.
