Great Expectations
By Charles Dickens
592 pages;
Barnes & Noble Classics
The newest Miss Havisham is Helena
Bonham Carter, which alone is worth the price of the ticket (and $10 bucket of
popcorn). But the novel's poignancy still rests on the power of its language,
which on the page can be so easily underlined—and committed to
memory. Our favorite? "Take
nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better
rule."
— Leigh Newman
