What do you think of this fag?

before anyone brings it up, he wasn't paid by the word. that's just a meme.

I own a few of his books because they pop up in every thrift shop ever, but have never actually read any.

Got a nice ~100 year old copy of Tale of Two Cities that I might give a go though

the one with the noble peasants and the evil industrialists

Yeah, I know. It pisses me off every time normies do it.

Post-modern elitists enjoy shitting on Dickens, but he's probably the greatest character writer ever to put pen to paper. He also understood the human condition and presented his philosophies in an understated tone throughout the narrative, often playing into the narrative perfectly. Favorite book of his is either Hard Times or Copperfield.

What is your problem with postmodern exactly? And yeah, Dickens was a normie melodramatist who wrote for females mainly.

Dickens being shit is just an edgy mcedgelord /lit/ meme.

None of them never read him.

I know we joke about it a lot but I'm convinced 98% of posters here don't read at all

Bleak House, Great Expectations, Pickwick Papers

Great Expectations reads like a fucking Brazilian telenovela. I can hardly call it a classic

DICKens? What kind of name is that? Was he wearing dick on his head or somethin'?
