Day 09 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving - I don't usually pick up books I don't think I'll enjoy, unless they're for a class.  I'd have to go with Dickens here and A Tale of Two Cities.  I didn't have high hopes for TOTC after being forced to read Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, but I loved it.  It has adventure, romance, tragedy, action, and Mme Defarge.  It also has an awesome movie adaptation.  Ronald Colman plays Sydyney Carton in one of his best roles, Basil Rathbone is evil and class-conscious, and Mme Defarge is awesome.  Not to mention the fight between her and Miss Pross.  Maybe Dickens got paid by the word, but surely everyone who has written a paper can sympathize with the need to make word count.
