Hi! to all my readers - I have to confess that until recently I had never read any
Charles Dickens and being a Baby Boomer I thought it was high time I did. So
far I’ve read “Oliver Twist”, which was wonderful and I’m about to start “Great
Expectations”.
When I was at school I thought the classics were boring and
I don’t remember reading any. How wrong I was! Now that I write myself I can
see, even though I've only read one story of his, why Charles Dickens has endured . The
same goes for Jane Austen. I’ve read Pride and Prejudice and found it to be
excellent. The classics are now on my list of “books to read”.

then your life will be a happy one, believe me.”
