Thanks for letting me know there was a problem, Laura!<BR/><BR/>I don't get the problem students have with Dickens. My kids have always loved his writing.

And young teens often find him quite plot-driven enough to enjoy his books, as long as they have a fair tolerance for lengthy sentences. I must have been too busy and unengaged when I read him in high school, because I totally missed the fun. Or maybe there was just way too much emphasis on Miss Havisham. Sure, she's important to the book, but I much, much prefer Joe.<BR/><BR/>I can't get the link to work, but no matter, I can certainly find the article at First Things. Thanks for the mention!Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168905598871608315noreply@blogger.com
