I didn't want to read it while I was still reading the book. I really loved this more than Drood by Dan Simmons, though I liked that one too, but for different reasons. However, I still haven't finished it! As for the mix up of authors, that's hilarious. I've had that happen before. .-= Serena (Savvy Verse & Wit)´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/savvyverseandwit/YMAQ/~3/OopiESYgtwM/carta-marina-by-ann-fisher-wirth.html" rel="nofollow">Carta Marina by Ann Fisher-Wirth</a> =-.

Would love to read a bio of him but I am sure that a comprehensive one would be extremely long. There is just so much to cover. I think Dickens is fascinating.

Since you're a big mystery reader I will be curious to see your take on that piece of the book. I think there will be details that appeal to you like the publishing stuff and the history.

I would like to read a biography but I know that would be an undertaking in and of itself.
