Am I the only one who thinks of Dickens and Marx as hero/anti-hero, two sides of the same coin? It seems natural to me - they were both of the same time, but such different cloth. Dickens seems so humane, Marx seems so … German … My rant on Dickens vs. Marx. When I turned 60 I resolved to live my last good 20 years as if they were the first twenty, but knowing more than I did then. This is my journal of that journey. #WritingCommunity #selfimprovement #selfhelp #readingcommunity #books #philosophy #inspiration #book #Marx #Dickens #ChristmasCarol #Communism #Capitalism #startover #seniorcitizens #seniorliving
