What the Dickens?!

This blog has just become a hot mess of abandonment. Mostly due to my neglectful ways, and how redonkulously crazy my life gets sometimes. But now I think I have something or someone I can commit to.

This man. Charles motherfucking Dickens.

This year on February 7th, good old C.D is gonna turn the big 2-0-0. And in honor of the big bicentennial, I have decided to read all of his novels, with the final book to read "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". That was his last published work and it seems like the perfect way to end the year. The entire list comprises of:

David Copperfield
Oliver Twist
Bleak House
A Christmas Carol
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby
Little Dorrit
The Pickwick Papers
Great Expectations
A Tale of Two Cities
The Old Curiosity Shop
The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit
The Chimes
The Cricket on the Hearth
The Battle of Life
Dombey and Son
The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain
Hard Times: For These Times
Our Mutual Friend
Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty
The Mystery of Edwin Drood

This is not the order in which I plan to read them. But that's a whole lot of reading to do. Luckily, Dickens happens to be one of my favorite authors, so this will be pretty easy to do. Plus, those of you who haven't yet abandoned me and my blog can join in on this as well. I have already been plugging away at "David Copperfield", so expect a review on that in the near future. It's going to be quite an interesting year. Thank the technology Gods that Kindles exist!

Happy Reading!
