Nicholas Nickleby used to be one of my three or four favorite books. I think I read it four times. Now I prefer A Tale of Two Cities. Last time I read it I listened to it. Wonderful. But the emphasis on his being the author of the downtrodden overlooks his finding of the true bravery and honor of people. It was the best of times it was the worst of times. ...... Tis a far far better thing I do than I have ever done.

Tale of Two Cities is my favorite book. In fact that’s where the carton came from in my freeper name.

My favorite thing about “Nicholas Nickleby” is the character Newman Noggs. :)
