    I've been meaning to read Pickwick Papers for awhile now. Its probably the only major work by Dickens that I haven't read yet.I didn't know that it was his first.

    Thanks for writing, CHE! I enjoyed PICKWICK PAPERS in school and I intend re-reading some of Dickens' works soon. An occasional classic or two between a series of pulp and popular fiction is like a breath of fresh air.

    Dickens is for me also associated with school along with Thomas Hardy, Shakespeare and Jane Austen. Time to go back.

    Mystica, all so true. Classics are a classic, aren't they? Thank you for the visit.
