PS. I do quite like a bit of Dickens myself (in the middle of a cold and grey English winter), but I prefer Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy. Like Trad Folk, neither of which (as with Dickens likewise) have ever ceased to attract readers. There will always be those who prefer Mills and Boon or Jackie Collins for their reading interests. But so what? I'm reading some pulp fiction right now, I have to slap my critical side down a bit, but otherwise it's a bit of non challenging, disposable, fluff and fun - just the same as much music is.
