currently reading Oliver Twist by Dickens - made a mistake as i thought i was buying David Copperfield which i've always wanted to read but never have, whereas i've never wanted to read Oliver Twist - think i've been put off it by that horrible musical

 

but, it's not too bad. more easy reading than some of his novels

nicholas crane - two degrees west (an english journey)

 

a different way to tour the country from berwick-upon-tweed by the north sea to the isle of purbeck on the english channel...down two degrees west (within a 2000metre band).

 

 

 

richard crane and nicholas crane - bicycles up kilimanjaro

 

...all along i'm thinking "how absurd is this?" yet i continued reading to the very end. an interesting account of carrying/riding bicycles up the 20,000 foot mt kilimanjaro.

 

did they realize their hope of riding their bikes inside the crater at the top?

oliver twist is a good read. i agree about the musical - it absolutely irritated the hell out of me. hope you get to read copperfield...it's one of his "bigger" books but i found it also to be an easy read much like oliver.

 

the only book of dickens i have yet to read is "barnaby rudge". it's sitting on the shelf just waiting for the day.
