Writer Andrew Klavan's favorite novel is A Christmas Carol.
Charles Dickens, the 19th century author of this iconic story, was this sort of person: "joyful and loves humanity and is full of life and entertainment and humor." His characters are "larger than life." Sounds like an author you'd enjoy reading, doesn't it?
Apparently the "intellectual class" doesn't care for Dickens, Klavan says, because they think darkness is "deeper" than light (which is not true).
In some ways, reading a book rather than watching a movie based on it is a far richer experience. If you like fiction, consider reading a novel by Charles Dickens.
