I’ve been a Dickens fan since junior high, when Mrs. Donnelly—my Havisham-esque ninth-grade English teacher—assigned Great Expectations. My classmates breathed a sigh of relief when we finished the book, but I kept on reading Dickens for fun.
This blog is a way for me to track my Dickens reading and my adventures in Dickens fandom.
