The Case of the Frozen Addicts, Under the Dome, or World War Z (although this probably will make my zombie dreams worse...)

I've thought about picking it up a bunch of times, but I am really over the zombie thing. They are everywhere. I still watch "The Walking Dead" even though it is a piece of crap now. I mainly just watch it to see how bad it is.

Why, oh why haven't I been reading Dickens all these years? This is truly a wonderful book and I'm only about 240 pages in. Fantastic. A+ recommendation.

I agree. I didn't read Dickens until I was at least 30. I was shocked - who knew? David Copperfield is fab and Great Expectations is amazing, too.

and what was it that made you read dickens?
For me it was a friend who said "What's wrong with you, you never read Dickens?" And he pointed out they were mostly (I guess) written serialized so the chapters would end and you'd have to wait a day (a week?) to read the next chapter. So they were exciting. Like I said to my daughter, you have to get past the old fashioned language, but once you do that... (she doesn't believe me).
Bleak House and Oliver Twist were not my favorites. I adore Great Expectations. I liked Dombey and Son too.

and what was it that made you read dickens?
I'm not sure to be honest; I had read other books where "David Copperfield" was mentioned, but nothing in particular. It doesn't take much for me to pick up anything by "classic" authors and I had never read Dickens, so that plus my interest in that particular book made it an easy choice.
Highly recommended so far.

ive managed to hold off from reading dickens.. his books never seemed to jump out at me past the whole theyre classics thing.. which with me isnt necessarily a good enough reason. anyhoo a month or so ago i was reading an article on dickens it mentioned a statue of him that is in one of our parks and i thoguht a little weird then i went on to read of hiss apparent affinity with australia... which made the statue make more sense. and being australian i found it all very interesting.. especially considering he never managed to make it down here.. its so very far away. anyhoo i thought hmmmm maybe.. then last week i was watching the tv and they were talking about dickens and someone said great expectations wasnt that difficult a read. i decided perhaps i should give him a go... and so i will.. but maybe not bleak house.. i heard its B-O-R-I-N-G.

I just finished the last book of The Hunger Games trilogy. I'm about to start Ghosts of Mississippi?
I read those recently as well. I was shocked to find I liked them. I read Twilight before the first movie came out to see what the buzz was about (I like how some books will hook a bunch of non-readers into becoming readers so I try to check them out) and I quickly saw how Twilight was just never going to work for me. Not for a 30-40 year old guy!
But Hunger Games was actually pretty cool. Just enough Sci-Fi and Action/Intrigue to offset the background love story. Interested to see the movies.

Yeah that's what I did with Twilight. I struggled to get through the first book and there was no way I was reading more.
I read the first Hunger Games and enjoyed it, but haven't had a desire to read more.
