A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
So. I've been somewhat disenchanted with Dickens by way of having had to read Great Expectations and not being thrilled about the characters and bored with the plot. (I think Great Expectations was where I learned the word "fortnight" however. So there's that. Silver lining? Silver lining. Yaaay.)
I'm still not overly amused with the author. But Gaiman's reading inserted humor that I likely wouldn't have noticed or thought of on my own. (And now I'm convinced that the Muppet Christmas Carol is, by far, the most superior film rendition of this story. Ever.)
TL;DR: Gaiman turns just about everything he touches to gold. I enjoyed this story as much as it's possible to enjoy a story that's been crammed down my throat since birth. Humbug.
