    I love Two Cities. It is one of Dickens' best, I think.

    Granted but thats the problem... I always get queasy its so vivid I can smell the blood in the streets... and thus I throw up, first time I read it it took me 2 years.. Ive reads it since and I guess its less bad every time but still

    Me too though Lucy Manette (sp?) was quite an annoyance for me. And also wouldn't like re-reading it when I have already read it twice.

    I am confused what to vote for as I am not even a little bit sure if I would be able to get the book. By the way, is any of these available online?
