Finished reading Great Expectations today. It took me 2 weeks to read, the longest any book has ever taken me. Certainly a slow read.
My favourite character was Miss Havisham - it makes me feel wanky/like I'm writing an IB English essay to say this, but I really liked Dickens' characterisation of her and the visual imagery of her sitting in her mansion, with everything around her rotting and frozen in time at 8:40. I'd like to see a good movie adaptation of this story.

Have you seen Great Expectations?

Nope, that's why I said I want to see a film of it. Have you seen a good version? Apparently there are quite a few.
