A Christmas Carol

Executive Summary: A definite classic that holds up well after all these years.

Audio book: I really love Tim Curry. His deep and creepy voice is an excellent fit for this story.

Full Review
I read some Dickens in high school, but for some reason never picked this up. The Disney adaptation of this story was always one of my favorite Christmas specials to watch every year.

Dickens is never going to be one of my favorites, but I may have to start listening to this book every few years at least.

Sure this is a Christmas story, and therefore not going to be for everyone, but really it's more a story about being a good and generous person, and to cherish the people in your life.

It's also a fantasy story, or at least a paranormal one, so that puts it in my usual wheelhouse anyways. I'm sure someone whose religious can point out all the symbolism in this story, but for me it's just a great story that reminds me fondly of my childhood.
