Susan Choi: 'For so long I associated Dickens with unbearable Christmas TV specials'

I MEAN, CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW MUCH SUSAN CHOI'S READING JOURNEY HAS SHAPED HER LITERARY IDENTITY?! 😲 she went from hating Charles Dickens' Christmas specials to totally loving Bleak House! it's like her mind was opened to a whole new world of literature. and i love how she credits it all to reading these books that challenged her preconceptions. i think we can all relate to having those "ugh, this book is so bad" moments, but sometimes it takes someone else's perspective to make us see things differently. anyway, i'm definitely adding Bleak House to my reading list now! 📚
 
📚💡 I think its pretty cool how Susan Choi's reading journey shows us that our tastes can change over time. Like, who would've thought she used to hate Dickens? 😂 It just goes to show that there's always room to grow and discover new authors. And I love how she mentions Virginia Woolf's style as a inspiration - her writing can be pretty intense but it's definitely unique! 🤯 Chang by Sigrid Nunez is on my list to read now, gotta check out what all the fuss is about 📖
 
I mean, I loved reading about Susan Choi's journey to rediscovering Charles Dickens! 🤩 I can totally relate to how we form these strong opinions about books and authors based on our first impressions. I used to think the same way about Christmas TV specials with Dickens too 😂. But it's amazing how re-reading something can change your perspective, right? And it's great that she was inspired by Roald Dahl as a kid - his stories are still so iconic! 📚👍
 
🤓 I'm loving this recent discovery of Susan Choi's foray into re-reading Charles Dickens 📚. It's mind-blowing how our perceptions can shift with a single reread, isn't it? 🤯 Her association with Dickens' Christmas TV specials being turned on its head is a great reminder that literature has the power to challenge and expand our horizons. 🌐 I mean, we've all been there where a book becomes synonymous with a particular memory or experience, but only through re-exposure do we unlock new depths of meaning. 👍
 
📚💡 I think its so cool how Susan Choi re-discovered her love for Charles Dickens 🤯😍 its like we can always learn something new from old books 📖💻 and even the books that werent our fave when we were younger can end up being super important 🤔👀 like Roald Dahl's stuff is still so awesome 🎉📚
 
I mean, who knew reading Bleak House could be a game-changer? Like, I've read those Dickens Christmas specials with my grandma and thought they were super lame 😂. But apparently, Susan Choi had the same experience and now she's all about it 🤣. And I love how her journey is like a reminder that we're never too old to discover new books and authors – even if it takes a pandemic lockdown or two 📚. Roald Dahl to Virginia Woolf, it's like bookshelf rebooting every 5 years 😆!
