I think so. I had a junior high teacher who was in love with Dickens. I haven't read Dickens since - maybe I should give him another try.jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539853682026748936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056182184373860858.post-47479209243841509352007-12-11T08:29:00.000-08:002007-12-11T08:29:00.000-08:00Hmm...

I read Grapes of Wrath in 10th grade, and I think my mom had to sit me down and explain the ending (I was a little sheltered, I admit), and I was horrified. And I have yet to read anything of Dickens except A Christmas Carol, which I actually really enjoyed. By the way, I think watching the miniseries of Bleak House inspired me to read some Dickens. After I finish the Jane Austen mysteries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056182184373860858.post-37051147011372107322007-12-10T14:49:00.000-08:002007-12-10T14:49:00.000-08:00Given my Jane Austen aversion, how do you think I'...Given my Jane Austen aversion, how do you think I'd do with Dickens? I tried Great Expectations a few years ago in my quest to read "the classics", but didn't get very far. Now Steinbeck on the other hand, I actually like - and liked in school. I think The Pearl should be saved for a littler later than 7th grade, but I remember being a big fan of Steinbeck. I should read more.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222717266527397554noreply@blogger.com
