Great Expectations -Charles Dickens
Dickens is and inspiration. The central character, Pip, is infuriating, often arrogant, and flawed like the rest of us. One of the original "aspirationals", Pip dreams that becoming a gentlemen will make him happy and help him win the cold Estella. While the story is rich and complex, the characters drive this novel. Miss Havisham remains one of the most extraordinary creations in literature.
I have also read this book. The first thing that happens is a little boy of about 7 is threatened by a escaped convict. The convict say that he'll get the 'young man' (who we never meet) to come and get him in the night and cut out his liver. A charming way to begin a book that some say is a romance novel.
Reading this book lead me to watching the episodes...
