Re: Books You Will Never Read
Charles Dickens' works other than Oliver Twist. I understand he's titled the greatest Victorian novelist, and his novels A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, and A Tale of Two Cities are mentioned everywhere. However, dragging myself through Oliver was sheer torture, and I promised myself I'd never do it again.
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
