I read 'Tale' in one go in 9th grade (age 15), but to be fair, Dickens is so obtuse in the first place that any analysis of his works (esp. 'Tale') has to be broken up into its' component parts. After all, anyone can just plow through a book; reading is about comprehension, imho.
Now 'Pride and Prejudice,' there's a snoozer!
If you're really into bikes and want some literature, though, try 'The Third Policeman' by a Joyce contemp., Flann O'Brien. He's huge into bikes.
Dickens sucks. Every book I've read of his has been horrible. Pretty much every book I've read of hers has been horrible... I don't enjoy reading books.
