Undertaking Latin was my last goal. It is undertaken. There is slow forward momentum in that arena. Next goal. Having read Bleak House and Great Expectations last year, having just finished A Tale of Two Cities and having just begun David Copperfield, I am ready to commit to my new goal.
I want to read ALL of Dickens. Yep, every little piece of literature that silver-penned, narrative weaving genius wrote, I want to read. There. I said it.
Okay... I will conceed, maybe, just maaybe I won't get to ALL of it, but a good chunk of it anyway.
So now my thoughts on the order are:
Finishing David Copperfield
Little Dorrit
The Pickwick Papers
The Old Curiosity Shop
Martin Chuzzlewit (who would not want to read a book with that title?)
I have no desire whatsoever to read Oliver Twist nor Nicholas Nickleby, and I have no idea as to why.
New goal revised edition: I want to read SEVERAL more Dickens books. There. I said it.
