Nicole from Linus Blanket is busy working on the introduction post to our next Classic Circuit Tour, and it’s going to be a fun tour. Sign up will be soon.
Two of our favorite English authors will be dueling in this tour. Which authors come to mind when you think of greatest English writers?
None other than England’s own….
Jane Austen
and
Charles Dickens
It’ will be an Austen versus Dickens show down. The tour should be in early to mid May. More information coming soon!

How will I choose? I’m ready to tackle some more Dickens (probably Dombey and Son) but I dearly love Jane. . . .
And I nominate Steinbeck for a future tour!

This sounds sick awesome. And I second the Steinbeck nomination.

I love Jane and hate Dickens- OK maybe hate is a strong word, but I don’t find him enjoyable.
and I third Steinbeck

Oh, I am tempted!!! And excited. 😀

Oh yay! But how will I choose? Fun Austen read? or meet my arch-nemesis Dickens and conquer him? Hmmm….I’m excited.
And yes. Steinbeck.

Charles Dickens! Charles Dickens!! Charles Dickens!!! But I would be perfectly content if Jane won. Woo hoo! I’m looking forward to this 🙂

Hmm. I’ve read more Dickens than I have Austen, so for that reason I think I would have to pick Austen.
Steinbeck is a GREAT idea. Yay to the people up there.
