I love Dickens, and I think he was a genius. I've read A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, and A Tale of Two Cities. I've read A Tale of Two Cities at least three times. His characters, good and bad, stay in my head and their presence there shapes my heart. So I'm taking a portion of this luxurious summer to read David Copperfield. I tried to read this tome a while ago, but found it too sad in a season where I couldn't handle any measure of more sadness, so I put it away for a time. Now, I am a few chapters in, and I am really enjoying it, even though it is just as sad. But I am already enjoying hearing the masterful Dickens tell another story and introduce me to another cast of characters that will stay with me forever.
