In reply to Elizabeth.

I absolutely love Maggie Smith – I saw her live years ago in Talking Heads and since then I have made a point of watching everything she is in.

I do find that, no matter how much you like an author, there are some books you just done enjoy, no matter how renowned the author is! 🙂

David Copperfield is one of my favorite books! There’s just something about it that keeps me returning to it again and again. And also the film version with Maggie Smith as Betsy Trotwood is wonderful. I definitely wouldn’t want to live in those times, but the characters are so endearing. Meanwhile, I just can’t bring myself to Like Great Expectations and I wasn’t able to get into A Tale of Two Cities, but I want to like them both. This post has inspired me to perhaps try one of his other books.
