I want to read Dickens but it must be the right sort of Dickens - I have already read Pickwick and Nickleby and Curiosity Shop#and Barnaby Rudge and Copperfield and Bleak House and Tale of 2 Cities and Drood. Little Dorrit OUGHT to work but right now I have a mental#block of feeling like I already read it because of having been so intimately familiar with the series adaptation for years (which is not a#reliable or valid reason#but I am feeling stubborn much to my own distress.#In truth I feel like I want to begin a classic but every classic my eye lights on is not the right sort in my current picky frame of mind.#Oh for the soontime when I'll be easier to please! So what then - non-fiction? My brain cries#NO! classic fiction it must be!#More recent fiction?#NO! cries my brain. You need edification and entertainment of the older sort tonight.#How about some poetry or a play?#I#cries the brain#will inundate you with an unreasoned guilt that you chose it simply because it was short.#Alas#my mood is elitistly particular and trying to please some person unknown#If this goes on much longer it'll just have to be Agatha Christie or something.#Coreander's Old Books#recovering reader
