Oliver Twist is better than Great Expectations, but that is just my opinion. (The Old Man and the Sea is still the best book in the world though).
I found it more enjoyable to bond with Pip, the bratty prick that he is. If only Dickens ended it the way he was originally going to...

Only manly-man men read stories like that.

Was never really a big fan of the mainstream ones, except Star Wars, which I hold a neutral view. And I don't really have the interest to read the more obscure ones.
EDIT: lol Anzua on-cue posting.
I find Pip to be one of the best characters in any Dickens work. I guess I am fond of slightly arrogant characters.

If most Sci-Fi authors are anything like the guy who came to my school, I would understand.

Give me sci-fi/existential/dystopian/ stuff over 'em any day. (No discredit to him, tho'.)
What a shocker.

Stars Wars is fantasy, not science fiction, strictly speaking.
And I will cry if you don't check out Wells and Gibson, at least. They're accessible without having alienating hard science fiction overtones.
And I'll stop derailing this thread (which seems to have spent its use, anyway).

HUSH YOU.

No, it is you who should be hushed!

Pip is one of the best fictional characters period, but that's my opinion. I just love how Dickens reached the aspired point of anyone who develops a character: the point where the character is his own entity, with his own psche, mind, and decisions. Pip reached the point where Dickens would have completely blundered if h even slightly misread the character, but he was just too awesome for that.

...What if you both hush and I do the talking?

In Canada, we burn the books for warmth during our HARSH, NEVER ENDING winter.

Agreed, Dickens' description of character development in Pip is godly. NOW THIS IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HK, NOT YOUR CRAPPY HARUHI STORYLINE.

Then you have a very interesting premise for either a police drama/thriller or a porno. Or both.

You should reserve that for Harlequin romance novels.

Where's that "Screw the Rules" picture?

I find it amazing how you're still not understanding logical development. And I am even more astounded that you somehow manage to compare Charles Dickens and post-modern anime satire in a thread comparing Bleach and Evangelion.

WHAT?!
Star Wars is definitely Sci-fi no matter how you look at it. Go any where in library to bookstore etc, and you'll see Star Wars labeled as Sci fi.

Don't have that one, but I think this one will do.

Sigh... I can think of something to counter the supposed "logical" character developments, but I'm not going to restart that again.

We covered this on AIM, but yeah; I think of vague plausibility as sci-fi, not something that's more adventerous.

You'll be smart not to.
