This book is very helpful for approaching my day with some different methods. I feel like it’s got some good points, and worth a reading. I’ll reread the text version soon, because it’s got some interactive parts.

A friend told me reading Dickens is a chore. I found it to be fairly easy, but maybe because this tale has been told so many times in movie form. There’s a few old timey words and whatnot, but overall it’s an easy story to understand, and compelling enough to make it a classic.

I just found this to be the same old plot from the other three, but more confusing names. The movie was solid, but the book was a real drag.
