How very true Margaret .. wonder if anybody really enjoyed reading the books, not easy are they ? (some people say they do just to appear literate ).. but some of the films are quite good.

Charles Dickens particularly labouring to plow through, although, love film adaptations of all his novels ... perhaps is something to do with school and being 'forced' to read them; pull them apart and analyse characters, plots and social issues, etc.
