200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth


This morning Google informed me about the event of the 200th anniversary of  Charles Dickens' birth, with this absolutely lovely google-doodle thingy. (This definitely is my favourite doodle since the one who allowed you to play pacman on the Google homepage!)

I'd like to write some statement about my favourite Dickens-work, but I've only read "Oliver Twist" and "David Copperfiled" so far. "Little Dorrit" would probably be my next reading choice.

The actual meaning of Dickens to me is that "Oliver Twist" was one of the first 19th century period films I saw in my childhood, and thus was the beginning of a long history of obsession with period films and classic novel adaptations  :)
