[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the popular YA series are 400-600 pages each and have 2-6 installments. I’m reading a historical fiction series that on book 18 and each book is 350-400 pages. There are new books that are destined to be classics. Also, Charles Dickens was a horrible person and I can’t separate his art from who he was, so I’m fine leaving him behind. Bah humbug. [/quote] How exactly was Dickens a horrible person? I'm looking at his wiki biography and don't see anything "horrible" by any stretch of the imagination. His marriage clearly was not fulfilling but that's not tantamount to being horrible. But you make it sound like he hired child labor and was cruel to the women of the slums. [/quote]
