This and The Tale of Two Cities were the first two classics I read as a high school student. I always loved to read but didn't know how RICH, moving, complex, multi-layered literature could be until then.
I think I need to find me a copy. Somewhere. Debbie

Finished TSL in 3 days. Yay me!
Yay you! That's amazing. I'm totally impressed. Are you glad you read it? I can't imagine you finishing that quickly if you didn't like it.
