Yes, I can see the similarities.

You are Marvin McFly and I claim my DeLorean.

Interesting. Thanks for compiling this. The main surprise is that Foden finished so high.

Yes, that's pretty firm logic you have worked out there.

Nicholas Nickleby (although I did watch this 8 1/2 hour stage production back in 1982), Hard Times, Barnaby Rudge, Martin Chuzzlewit and The Pickwick Papers. I started on The Pickwick Papers but didn't get very far. I think it was after I first read The Old Curiosity Shop, and my disappointment...
