True. I figured someone would bring that up. A lot of people still see Dickens as weak literature. I've had several professors who believed
Tale of Two Cities was the only good thing he ever wrote (I think it was the only one actually written as a novel, rather than in serial form). That isn't an opinion I share, as I'm rather fond of Dickens.
