There's an author has made one hell of a killing, all right. God bless her.

Whatever you think of the series it's nice to see someone become wealthy and successful by using their imagination instead of just being a celebrity or a slut.

That's also probably why I liked the Social Network despite not being into facebook-- it's cool to see someone become obscenely wealthy just by virtue of his nerdly intellect. :D

I could have. But Dickens should be read in hardcover.  ;)

Well actually I never read the Mystery of Edwin Drood, Martin Chuzzlewit or any of the short stories.  Actually it's been long enough (I read all of those novels in HS) that I could probably reread them all and they'd be fresh...

Both have different covers in the local editions. I wonder why they changed such perfectly good designs across borders.

Readability?

I'd check the Amazon site for that. I just put it in the list with all the other books I may never get to.
