That said, authors I have read and enjoyed:

Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Stevenson, Asimov, Douglas Adams (he he)

I tried so so so so hard to read "A Tale of Two Cities," but I seriously could not do it. But "A Christmas Carol" had me laughing out loud. Haven't read any others though.

And Adams totally counts!
