Oliver Twist Readalong October to December. Everyone Welcome

[DesdamonasHandkerchief]

For the Dickens aficionados and the Dickens curious alike. We’re going to attempt a three month readalong of Dickens second published full length novel Oliver Twist.
As it was published in three volumes we will be tackling a volume a month:

October Volume 1
22 Chapters

November Volume 2
14 Chapters

December Volume 3
15 Chapters.

We’ll discuss each volume on the last day of the month (so volume one on 31st October) and have a check in mid month for those who want it.

Place-marking with a silk handkerchief 😊

What a lovely idea, I’m definitely in. It’s been so many years since I read Dickens, I keep contemplating a reread so this is serendipitous timing.

OK I got a cheap Kindle version so I will try this. I always feel I should have read more Dickens.

I am checking in to join you.
I am going to listen on Audible and I have downloaded a version read by Jonathan Keeble who I have listened to as a narrator before and I like him.
I listened to Great Expectations earlier this year read by Stephen Fry which was an absolute joy.
My knowledge of OT is mainly from the musical

Oh that clothbound edition is beautiful. I'm now looking at them all!

This is a great idea. I have started the free audible version read by Jonathan Pryce. Enjoying it so far 😀

It was a great marketing idea from Penguin to sell the free on line classics to people at inflated prices 😂

I think it is interesting how atm there are apparently more books being sold and less books being read…

I have downloaded the audiobook narrated by Martin Jarvis. I'm hopeful I might actually stay on track this time, thanks to my driving / listening commute!
