A TALE OF TWO CITIES

From the CLASSICS shelf............

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...........it was a time to re-read A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Charles Dickens.

I first read the book when I was 12, then in high school with the rest of my English class. I guess I've read it a couple of times since then. Right now I'm listening to it on cassette at work. I also have an old paperback copy on my shelves.

I will probably write more about the book in future entries, now that I've reminded myself of how much I enjoy it. The story of course is good, but what I really like are the words and the people! Oooh, who doesn't get goosebumps thinking of Madame DeFarge and her cronies with their clicking knitting needles!!
