This email list is dedicated to the work, life and times of Charles Dickens. Please come and join us for friendly discussions. Over the past eight years we have had exciting group readings of all of Dickens's major works.

We are currently reading The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Dickens' final but unfinished work) and it is hoped we may also include the option from time to time of reading of one Dickens short story each week for those who prefer to try something briefer.

As a result of a recent poll among members after Nicholas Nickleby we will read Dickens' final unfinished work - Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Please note help with homework assignments cannot be expected. Spam and commercial messages are not allowed on this list. Fighting and flame wars are not allowed on this list so please note that posts are moderated to prevent abuse. Reference questions and congenial conversation are always welcome!
