Great
Expectations
by Charles Dickens, my favorite book by the
master.  On Christmas Eve in 1812 young
Pip stands by the grave of the father and mother he never knew.  A wee lad of 7, Pip is easily cowed by an
escaped convict who accosts the boy and threatens to rip out his heart and
liver. And that is just the beginning of this marvelous tome. Pip’s fortunes
will rise and fall, from his humble beginnings living with his married sister
to the elegance of London high society.  Dickens books are stories of great breadth,
suffused with humor, and fully invested in an investigation of the human
heart.  They are great fun to read, a
real pleasure.
