Hello all, I hope your New Years’ celebrations were wonderful. This post is a reminder that we’ll be meeting to discuss Charles Dickens’ Bleak House on Wednesday, January 18, 2012. It’s a long book (and I admit I still have quite a ways to go on it!) but it’s sure to be a great discussion so I encourage you to give it a go. Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday is the first week of February, so what could be a better way to celebrate but by reading one of his novels?
As I mentioned, I have much more to go of the novel myself. I’m noticing that there are lots of characters to keep straight, so I thought I’d give you a link to the character list. It may help you. There may be later-in-the-novel plot details mentioned in the summaries of these characters, but maybe this will help you (as I’m hoping it will help me) keep the different colorful Dickensian personalities apart.
Happy reading!
