The Classic Book Discussion Group will read the second half (Chapter 32 through the end) of David Copperfield by Charles Dickens in March.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Published in 1850, David Copperfield is Charles Dickens’ eighth novel and the one that most closely follows the author’s own life. A coming of age story, it describes David’s life from childhood with a difficult stepfather, his schooling, his entry into the workforce, his courtship and marriage(s), and his eventual success as an author. Filled with colorful characters like Wilkins Micawber and Betsey Trotwood, and unforgettable villains like Uriah Heep, it was Charles Dickens’ favorite among his own novels.
