I admit that I misread MtheGM's premise when I nominated
A Christmas Carol. But my attitude toward ACC is
still one of intense ennui. The story was all right
the first time, I suppose, or even the sixth or tenth
time, but how many gallons of sugar syrup can one swallow,
and on how many occasions? I pretty well like every
OTHER story from Dickens I've read, but this one was thin
and syrupy to begin with, and went downhill from there.
