Yes. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 13/06/2011 05:19:05 PM
Have you read any Dickens?

Ja, sicher.

What have you read?

Great Expectations, Nicholas Nickleby, A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist.

Have you heard of any (other) Dickens novels?

Most of 'em, one suspects.

Why have you not read them?

Too many books, not enough time. I don't really like Dickens.

What is your perception of Dickens?

Hm. He's too wordy (very much of his time, I suppose), but has interesting ideas. I can understand why we still study his books, but I think he's quite boring. </bad English student>

Have you seen any film/series versions of Dickens' novels?

Yes, lots.

Pick one word that you connect with Dickens. What is it?
