Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

I loved this book! My first Dickens, and definitely not my last.
His writing style is interesting. The descriptions were very detailed, which I know is annoying to some, but I liked it. I realize he probably only did this because he was payed for every word written, but I think it just makes the book more interesting, though it also made it a long read.
The characters were all very interesting and unique, and I came to like the majority of them by the end. I really like how many of them had these little quirks, like Mr. Jagger biting his finger and washing his hands all the time, and how Wemmick refused to talk about the office at home, and about home at the office. Each one of them was extremely unique, which was great. It was a tad difficult to relate to Pip as a whole, but I found I could relate to some bits of his personality and quirks.
All in all, this was a fantastic book! I'm sad I hadn't read it sooner.

Successful Bookstore Outing

A few hours ago, my dad and I decided to go over to Chapters, just to browse. This is one of my favorite things to do, but it pains me when I have no money, and have to leave empty handed. I always find at least one new book that I want to read.
We were there for about an hour and a half, which is how long it took me to get through the entire Fiction & Literature section. It was unfortunate, but just as I got into the Horror section, it was time to go.
I found three new books to read, on top of the whole list I have, and I did make a purchase. And it was a great, and awesomely cheap, purchase.
See, Chapters has this awesome set of Classics, and they have it so that if you buy 2, you get the third free! I have already bought four of these books, but I felt it was time to get some more!
Here's what I got:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, and David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.
There are so many others that I wanted, but I did not have the cash to buy them.

I have been enjoying Great Expectations, hence my buying two Dickens novels. I know many people don't like the length and detailed descriptions of Great Expectations, but I love it. I also found that as I got more into the story, I was able to understand what was being said much easier.

Basic Updates

I haven't bothered writing lately, as I've been reading only books that aren't apart of any challenges I'm in. I've been hooked back into The Princess Diaries series, so that's what I've been reading. I'm now on book 7, so I'm almost done.
I did start reading Great Expectations today though! So far, it's really good. A little confusing at times, do to the old English and whatnot, but I'm doing pretty well none the less.

And currently, I am alphabetizing the Gilmore Girls book list, because I was having a hard time finding the books I was looking for. So this'll make it much easier. Though it's going to take quite a while, seeing how there are so many books.
