..."Dickens was an annoying writer". Yes?<br /><br />The only thing annoying about Dickens was that he was English, from the land of the mad old wizard Francis Bacon, and Malthus, Marx (in library), Russell, Hitchens (the bent bum, not the brother) and the whole rest of the mad eugenicist limeys pretending to be scientists in the wake of Henry VIII. The poor Brits couldn't even smack down Hitler without their bankers creating him first. <br /><br />But Dickens tried to humanize the limey brutes.
