out of Dickens...
I was about to add the lovely and talented Ambra Nykol to my blogroll anyway, when I dropped by her place to double-check the URL for my blogroll.
That's when I found her trenchant comments on The Giants of Literature.
My favorite shot: "There was a moment when I enjoyed Great Expectations. The end." Ouch! Heh.
Check her work out; it's worth it.
