It's almost disheartening when I think about what I haven't read.

Obviously, we must pick and choose, but there are times I feel like I should have read certain books that I haven't, and that infuriates me. Of Dickens, I have only read Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, Bleak House, A Christmas Carol and part of David Copperfield. I saw the musical "Oliver!" but I don't think that counts as having read Oliver Twist.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

That reminds me of what Camilla said regarding Oliver Twist's ending.

My largest recollection of the book is that my friend used Pip as a mnemonic for me for πιπτω.
