My favorite Charles Dickens book is David Copperfield. I believe Dickens wanted it to be an autobiography.
It's the eighth novel by Dickens - I didn't realize that.
Yeah, it's great. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.
You know, the full title is The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account)
Haha, no wonder most people just call it David Copperfield. That is crazy.
It was first a serial in 1849-50 and then as a book in 1850
Wow, I never realized that it was originally a serial. I bet people couldn't wait to find out what happened next.
It was actually Dickens' personal favorite of all he wrote.
Didn't know that either. That sure means a lot. I think it was adapted to a movie at some point.
