January 7, 1999- Finishing of David Copperfield
I've finally finished
reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, much to my extreme delight.
Truly, this has been a trying book, given it's extreme length and Dickens'
ability to write characters that throroughly piss me off. That begin said,
here's some favorites and annoyances.
