February: Dickens: Dombey and Son

I've already made a start on Dombey and Son, which is just as well because I'm finding it pretty slow going. I'm up to Chapter 10 now :)

As well as reading the book I'm listening to Mil Nicholson's excellent (LibriVox) narration (http://librivox.org/dombey-and-son-by-charles-dickens/).

Ah - thank you for mentioning the LibriVox version! I've also begun Dombey and Son, and should be at about the same point when I leave off, this evening.

Mil's voice for little Paul Dombey is pretty cute!

I'm up to Chapter 32 and hooked! There have been some wonderful chapters. Very sentimental and emotional in parts, but excellent reading.

I agree. It's only getting better. I am far behind you, though - at Chapter 16. I was finishing a couple of other books, and too tired to read when I got to that part of the evening, the last few days. But I commend you for recommending the LibriVox recording. It allowed me to listen while doing quiet household tasks.... perfect, until the cat started sitting on the computer. She has a way of always hitting the 'lower volume' button.

We'll see if I can't catch up, this weekend.
