One of my favorite Roth's, I hope you enjoy it too.

I am going to tackle A Tale of Two Cities – Charles Dickens before my trip to Paris.

Ooh Paris, you lucky thing :) I love tale of two cities, I've read it more than once, hope you enjoy it!

I think I am going for Howard's End, I need something relatively anodyne.
