Great Expectations

Great Expectations was a novel by Charles Dickens the Doctor identified on Christmas Eve 1869. (DW: The Unquiet Dead)

It was also a book that Rani Chandra and Clyde Langer had to read for school. Typically, Rani took the assignment far more seriously than Clyde. He claimed that all one needed to do to understand the novel sufficiently for the purposes of school was to skim it and read page 78. (SJA: The Empty Planet)
