I've read e..."A Tale of Two Cities." I've read every one of Dicken's books at least twice, but I can't get past the first few chapters of this one. I can't figure it out.<br /><br />Strangely enough, when I first started reading Jane Austen I couldn't get into "Emma" either. It took me a year longer to read it after I'd read all the others a couple of times. But with ATOTC it's been five years already since I first picked it up. There it sits on the bookshelf by my bed, accusing me daily.Renaissance Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952798313519783430noreply@blogger.com
