Next time someone tells you Dickens is too intimidating or too tough to read, you might point out that A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations are both quicker reads than the bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire. At least, according to this.
Well, considering A Song of Ice and Fire is 5 really long books (704 – 1056 pages, according to Wikipedia), I would hope it would take less time to read one Dickens novel!
Dickens knew how to pull the gravy train into the station, too.–something I’m suspecting Martin does not.
Well put!
