Speeding through Dickens

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.
