    #currentlyReading #books #Dickens

    Trudging through The Pickwick Papers and recognizing the travelogue of story form from Terry Pratchett to Don Quixote. Plots? Who needs a long plot when you can have lots of little ones?

    In the audiobook, cracking up at the number of words containing "v" when Sam Wellington or his father expound on anything.

  2. To frame #Grinch vs #Scrooge as a mere new-for-old replacement misses half the point of #AChristmasCarol: it’s not just a redemption story, but—like much of #Dickens’ work—also a critique of the class system.

  3. I have this idea for a new version of Dicken's A Christmas Carol:

    • Scrooge is Trump
    • Ghost of Xmas Past is Regan
    • Ghost of Xmas Present is Obama
    • Ghost of Xmas Future is a toss up - either continue to cast Death or switch to Putin.

  10. @steampunk Since leaving the SF Bay area in 2020, I miss my #Dickens, #Crucible, #Steampunk & #ClockworkAlchemy friends! And I love The Steampunk Explorer. Image from the Steampunk Invasion of The Great Dickens Christmas Fair 2012.

  11. @gutenberg_org. Many moons ago, my mother insisted I read a #Dickens novel before reading what I really wanted to read -- #LoveStory. I chose #DavidCopperfield. Thanks mom for helping me to become someone who loves #reading (no matter what!) and #literature and writes about it for a living!

  12. “Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears,
    for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.
    I was better after I had cried, than before— more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.” Charles #Dickens, Great Expectations
    Please enjoy my #painting
    TEARS OF COLOUR my story about how I turn tears into colour & a nourishing vine.
    This painting is in a private collection. Have a nice weekend.

  13. As we have still yet to reach Twelfth Night, I’m still sporting a seasonally appropriate #pinbadge on my old #tweed sport coat each day. Today’s is the just arrived new #Crow #Scrooge badge from Bush Bling. It well suits both the season and the #Dickensian reading I’ve been doing as of late.
