Is "A Tale of Two Cities" good? I've heard a lot about it. I have a lot of books I'm planning to read, but I wouldn't mind a few more  .

Well, I haven't finished it yet, but I can already say it's not my favourite Dickens novel (that would be
Our Mutual Friend or
Bleak House). However, it has at least one great character: Madame Defarge who's always observing others while ostensively knitting and "seeing nothing".
Vernon God Little was a very odd book, but I enjoyed reading it anyway.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is disturbing but brilliant. Much better than the film.
