Wonderful article about a man whon could be a distant relative of mine (my mother was Doris Dickens, daughter of Harry Dickens who emigrated to the US when he was 12). With the same middle name as the great writer's, there's controversy as to whether there's any relationship. I enjoy the fun.

Loved your article and thought it was a good analysis of his writing. Liked the idea of being motovated by a reading group to read the classics.
