So I guess you get too tired to read Dickens, Galsworthy, Milton, Pope, C.S. Lewis, Barbara Pym, Robert Graves, A.A.Milne, Orwell, Wilde, Shaw, Herrick, Huxley, Mansfield, Woolfe, Austen, Bronte.....

Dickens, A Christmas Carol. C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy. A.A. Milne, all of the Pooh books. Orwell, 1984 and Animal Farm. Huxley, Brave New World. You didn't mention Tolkein, but you can add him to the list; he's only the greatest author who ever lived with his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Those other authors on your list do not write the kind of literature I read.

And yes, I did mentally correct every oddly spelled word and strange grammatical construct when I read those books.

Sorry for you that you have that tic, and sorry that you have chosen to ignore the major works of English literature. But, as my father used to say, water seeks its own level.
