'Bleak House' remains a great novel for me, and I love 'David Copperfield.'
And I am bored to death with it. Bored to death with this place, bored to death with my life, bored to death with myself.
Bleak House is just the most astounding piece of work. There's huge, visionary poetry in it.
I was brought up on Dickens. I remember reading 'Bleak House' but, coming back to it, I didn't remember much about it apart from a few characters.
Charles Dickens left us fifteen novels, and in an ideal world, everyone would read all of them.
I've never finished anything by Dickens.
Bleak House by Charles Dickens is my favourite book.
With its vastly complicated plot and its immense cast of characters swirling around the case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce that has been grinding away in the Court of Chancery for decades, 'Bleak House' is, for many readers, Dickens's greatest novel.
I get mistaken for Amanda Holden; I've had that since I was 12. I get Carey Mulligan, too. We look quite similar, and she does 'Bleak House' and I do 'Cranford,' so people mix us up. I'm sure we'll play sisters at some point.
I am greatly impressed with the BBC's TV adaption of Charles Dickens' 'Bleak House.' The costumes, the sets, the acting and the screenplay are all superb. Every episode is riveting.
