The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens

I'm trying to get through The Mystery of Edwin Drood because I've come across another novel titled Drood by Dan Simmons that sounds really interesting. " Based on actual biographical events, Drood explores the still-unresolved mysteries of one of our greatest writer's dark final days in a profoundly original tale..." Creepy neat, huh? And it was on sale for $8!!! But I needed to take two steps back and read Dickens' original (his last and unfinished) novel first. I've read many of Dickens' novels (Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, etc) but The Mystery of Edwin Drood hasn't been one of them. Until now. But it's hard to get through because I am terribly distracted being  in the middle of rehearsals for a musical that opens in one week. YIKES! I will keep you all updated as I inch my way though it.

UPDATE 7/30/12: I'm one of those rare people that don't own a Kindle or Nook or any kind of electronic book thingie. I say it's because I'm an old romantic and there's something about holding a real book in one's hands. (And I'll keep saying it until I get enough money to justify purchasing an electronic book thingie!) I still use the library. I borrowed The Mystery of Edwin Drood from the library. I had to return it before I'd finished. I know I could download it for free. (Please re-read previous statement.) All of this to say, I haven't finished it yet. But I'll get there. And I'll let you know when I do. Promise.

    I read more than just classic novels. This is where I post about recent books I have read. Have you read the same book? Got a different opinion? Let me know! I'd love to hear about it.
