ringsandcoffeeI read a Charles Dickens book. Cover to cover. Not watched a play of one (A Christmas Carol), not watched watched a movie of (Little Dorrit), not listened to on audiobook (Bleak House, though that counts for something), and not read 90 pages - gave up - watched the movie - then read most of it minus the boring parts (Our Mutial Friend). No, I just finished Great Expectations, and truly enjoyed it.
