I'll take Even Cowgirls Get the Blues FTW with Jitterbug Perfume coming in second. 

Still Life didn't do much for me at all.

I equate dickens novels to a homosexual experience, its something no real man should ever experience  :-o  :evil:

Excuse me? That's a really asshole thing to say.  You are clearly full of it. Dickens is amazing. I loved Tale of Two Cities. Tried to read it when I was in 3rd grade and couldn't really get it but then I went back years later. Too bad for folks who are culturally illiterate. By the way, I just finished The Sound and The Fury and it was a crazy work, confusing but brilliant.  Now I'm on to Anna Karenina.

This marks the second time in two days that I agree with sprobeck.
Dickens was a great writer.

Still Life is by far my favorite. Here is a passage:

For more than an hour, Leigh-Cheri stared into the mandala of the sky. "Does the moon have a purpose?" she inquired of Prince Charming.
Prince Charming pretended that she had asked a silly question. Perhaps she had.
The same query put to the Remington SL3 elicited this response:
Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is:
Who knows how to make love stay?
Answer me that and i will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Answer me that and i will ease your mind about the beginning and the end of time.
Answer me that and i will reveal to you the purpose of the moon.

Amazing. Poignant. Well-written.

while we're piling on, I'll take issue with the idea that a homosexual can't be a real man.  also Dickens was a great writer.
