Was that professional interest?

I don't know. I quite like hypocrisy. I'm a bit wary of people who're always telling you how bad they are

I'm sure I will read
Bleak House at some point
, but the next book is more likely to be:
Tale of Two Cities (because I always loved the film - with Dirk Bogarde as Sidney Carton) OR
Oliver Twist (the story is so familiar, I'd like to see what the original is like) OR
Hard Times (because it's set close to where I was brought up)
