Loving this book, but it's so long. Can't wait to see how all these characters coming together in true Dickensonian style. Most Dickens fans say this is his best. I have yet to still see that. Hoping to get this done by the end of the summer, but not sure if I'll make it.

When Richard asks his lawyer what's being done for his case...(A beautiful way to say I'm working on it, but not really getting anything done...)
"Nothing done!"
"Don't say that! It is scarcely fair!"
"Why, what is done?"
"A good deal is doing, sir. We have put our shoulders to the wheel, Mr. Carstone, and the wheel is going round."

I have wanted to read this one too but it is such a long book I have put it off. A friend told me she watched the movie as she was reading it and it helped. I hope you finish and end up loving it.

Thanks, me too! Didn't realize there was a movie, but I guess that doesn't surprise me. I'll probably watch it eventually, but I think right now I was to just take it all in. It has a LOT of characters in it and I'm curious to see where it all goes.
