I have only read A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations. The latter was a big thing for me because my friend didn't even get halfway through it. Looking back, I liked it.

I've read A Christmas Carol, and I've had David Copperfield, The Cricket on the Hearth and Oliver Twist read to me. Very good books.

I'm reading Oliver Twist this fall for school, hopefully it'll be good. What's y'all's favorite movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol?
Don't laugh yet: A Muppet's Christmas Carol.
Honestly! I've seen a bunch o' versions and that's the best one yet!!! LoL

My family watched about five different versions of it over one Christmas, and we discovered that the recent Patrick Stuart version cannot be beat for great acting and sticking the book like glue. Although the Muppets are a lot of fun, too.

Well, I had a short version of A Christmas Carol read to me. (And then we found a much larger version on the shelf!) The only Christmas Carol movie I've seen is the Patrick Stuart one.
A Christmas Carol isn't one of my favorite stories.
We're reading David Copperfield now. (Well, listening to it being read aloud.)Posted 3 years ago # -
How is it?
I once tried to watch a version (a cheesy version, mind you!) of ACC, and E. Scrooge kept cursing! It didn't even sound right; it was just frivolous, for the sake of profanity.
A book I'm halfway through called Lord Foul's bane is like that; the main chracter can't think or talk without some four-letter word!Posted 3 years ago # -
How is what? David Copperfield or the Christmas Carol movie?

David Copperfield.

I've read A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist (liked them both very much) and Great Expectations (not quite as good, and I didn't like any of the characters, but maybe I was too young for it then). I quit halfway through Nicholas Nickleby.
Bleak House and Hard Times are on my to-read list, anyone read those?

I picked up a Dickens' when I was in the bookroom (otherwise known as the garage) the other day. It's a small little book. Maybe I'll read it today.
I've never read any Dickens...

Which book is it?
Dickens is challenging, but rewarding,Posted 3 years ago # -
Maybe I should wait to give my opinion on David Copperfield until we finish the book. (Though that could take a while. It's enormous!)

I've seen a pretty good movie of Great Expectations (I read a book and then watch the movie a lot) and it was very good; there's also a little cartoon about Cricket on the Hearth. That's a Christmas story, I think, so I can't read it until December!
Nicolas Nickleby looks doable. Our library has a lot of Dicken's stuffins, so I'm just gathering courage to jump in. *gasping and widening of eyes*Posted 3 years ago # -
Actually, my family read Cricket on the Hearth for Christmas last year, and discovered that it has nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever!
