>"Dickens? He's so overrated."

I lose a lot of respect for a person if they claim to hate Dickens. You can just tell he writes with a genuine desire to make people happier, and he succeeds imo.

>>8448165
Verne and Dickens are literary memes.

I haven't read any Dickens as an adult. Name me a book or two, though nothing too long.

>JAG: And then you overrate Dickens.
>HB: Oh no. No, no, no. How can you overrate a writer of that fecundity and power? Dickens is as cióse to a novelist of the stature of a Cervantes that you can find in English. Dickens is the major novelist of the English language, surpassing Henry James, surpassing even George Eliot.

Great Britain hasn't produced a good author since Milton. He doesn't have much competition

Who gives a shit what this fat faggot thinks

He said DFW was shit too. What an imbecile, DFW carried more talent in his pinky than Dickens had in his whole body

>>8448245
Okay, I'm not gonna say I don't personally love DFW, but that's bullshit.

Is Dickens entry-level pop literature like Verne or are you simply memeing ? Genuinely curious.
