Christmas Reading

A few days ago I was zipping around Amazon in search of something to read. I happened across a free version of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. Having only watched the movie and listened to a dramatized audio version before, I downloaded a copy.

I am enjoying it immensely. There's just nothing like reading an original text, especially a classic. Most modern versions lack the rich descriptions and character depth of the original. This particular story takes the reader back to London in the 1800s to accompany Ebenezer Scrooge as he encounters the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

This is a must-read if you are interested at all in classic literature.Link
