I'm going to take advantage of my current French Revolution mania and finally read A Tale of Two Cities. Anyone in? If so, I'm planning to start next Wednesday & I'll post a schedule shortly.

Ooh, I think I'm in. It's on my LIST and I finally brought it home from the library (where it is amusingly miscataloged in the system as some Arabic-language academic tract).

Count me in too. It's been on my shelf (and TBR pile) for far too long!
Posted by: Rebecca | 25 August 2008 at 09:30 AM
Oh, good!
As much as I want to read it, I'd have been sad to read it all alone...

I dunno. It's been a while, but I don't recall liking that book very much. Really, apart from The Eight and An Infamous Army, I'm not a fan of Fr Rev books. Everybody in them is always so evil and greedy (and eventually headless.) It's just depressing.

Ooo, I have a copy of An Infamous Army around here somewhere -- I'd better move it up the pile. Hopefully you'll jump in for the Big Read IV (whatever that one will be...)!

Wow -- I haven't read this one in YEARS. I'm in. It's also one of my fave Dickens -- I think the first I read all the way through. I'm SO in. I'll post on Readers' Rants (or are you doing Twitter?).

I'll post as I have for the previous Big Reads (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), but I might work some Twittering in there, too. We'll see.
Gosh. I'd better snag a copy at the library and make a schedule! I had no idea that people would jump in so quickly!

@TadMack: Really? It was your favorite? Hmm, maybe...no, no. Don't want to read about tumbrils right now. Still, I don't remember it very well...

I am definitely on that team! I haven't read A Tale of Two Cities in years and I didn't really get everything out of it that I could have. Hurray for Big Read III!

I'm in!!! This one has been on my shelves forever!

I am in - I have enjoyed the first two Big Reads, but did not have the time to participate. I haven't read this one since Middle School!
Posted by: Victoria | 25 August 2008 at 01:57 PM
I am in for this one - I read it on an all-night bender in college, and haven't read it since. But man, did I love that book (which was not, by the way, assigned. I just wanted to read it.)
Posted by: Kelly Fineman | 25 August 2008 at 03:24 PM
I'm in, too!

They turned this into a musical which will opening soon on Broadway. I am seeing a preview next week.

I remember disliking this book at 12 but seeing as I can't remember it at all suspect I might not have given it a fair chance. So I'm in too :)

Sweet! I loved it when I first read it a couple years ago and I'm game to do a reread.
