2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

I'm selecting The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens this week as I'm trying to use this challenge to read more of the classics. I've not read any Dickens apart from A Christmas Carol and I think that the time has come to remedy that.

I have seen an adaptation of this on TV and I found it really funny so I'm keen to see if I feel the same way about the book version. It's also available for free on Project Gutenberg so I don't need to worry about adding to my groaning bookshelves. ;-)

Hi Cait, I'm reading The Pickwick Papers now, still for Week 6. It has been a slow read for me. It's humorous but long-winded. I'm glad I'm reading it but will also be glad when I'm finished with it!

I've chosen this one as well for this week. I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't actually finished a Dickens book yet (I started Oliver Twist), so this was a no-brainer for me!

I'm glad that I'll be with someone else who'll be reading it for the first time Jody. :-) We'll be able to compare notes.

I finally finished this book this morning. I'm glad I read it but I'm also glad I'm finished with it. I enjoyed the characters, but tired of the lengthy descriptions!
