I loved reading Little Dorrit but it exhausted me emotionally from it's shear scope and range and intensity. I'm not ready for another on such an emotional scale. I would love to read it but sometime in the future, next year when I have got over my Dickens exhaustion. You must have a great capacity to absorb all that. I think you achievement in reading and reviewing all of Dickens novels is amazing. So, is it only Edwin Drood to go?<br /><br />The dust heeps reminded me of Wimbledon Common. There are some small hills or rather large mounds in one corner of Wimbledon Common next to the Putney Wandsworth roundabout that were created in Victorian times. When they were tunneling under London to create the underground system they had to put the excavated earth somewhere. Hence the mounds, now covered in grass, shrubs and trees, on Wimbledon Common.<br /><br />All the best,<br /> Tony TONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.com
