Happy 201st Birfday

Charles Dickens!

XMASTIME on July 22, 2010:

TCM'S LINEUP TODAY
A Christmas Carol
Great Expectations
Nicholas Nickleby
Oliver Twist
A Tale of Two Cities

I'm scrambling over to CNN - did Dickens die today?

Meanwhile, here we are on Dicken's 200th birthday, and TCM is showing nary a Dicken's flick today.  Wtf?

Does Dickens still matter HERE.

I'm calling bullshit on myself for only having read Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities so far.  More importantly...was Dickens the 6th Beatle?
