Hard Times Was Not Hard To Read!

I just finished Hard Times by Charles Dickens. I thoroughly enjoyed it! 

Indeed, I enjoyed it so much that I'm tempted to start another one as part of my hope to finish reading them all (though I have set no deadline for doing so).

Here's my Dickens' tally so far. The indented books are ones I own; the bolded ones are ones I've read.

     The Pickwick Papers (1836) 

     Oliver Twist (1837)
     Nicholas Nickleby (1838)
     The Old Curiosity Shop (1840)
Barnaby Rudge (1841)
Martin Chuzzlewit (1843)
     Dombey and Son (1846)
     David Copperfield (1849)
     Bleak House (1852)
     Hard Times (1854)
Little Dorritt (1855)
     A Tale of Two Cities (1859)
     Great Expectations (1860)
