What Members Thought
I can't believe I'm re-reading this. A Tale of Two Cities stands out as the ONLY book assigned to me in school (in all my years of school) that I did not read. I tried, I did, but I just couldn't wade through it. (Didn't help that it was assigned immediately after Great Expectations. I'd HAD it with Dickens by then. What was my high school freshman English teacher thinking?) To fulfill the Ultimately Reading Challenge category, "book you were supposed to read in school," this was my only option.

Somehow I managed to miss out on this Dickens classic. It's quite pertinent to our times. Some things just don't change.
