25. Favorite book you read in school

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

I have a love of the era and this novel was a lovely Victorian Age novel with the poor downtrodden and the crazy wealthy all mixed up together in the story of Pip. It’s a strange sort of rags to riches story that Dickens’ revised to make less sad after he was criticized for its original ending.

When I was in 9th grade, this was THE novel that everyone read and hated in freshman English but I sort of liked it as I had always loved “A Christmas Carol” and Victorian things.
