The Lord of the Rings...

Spent the day watching The Lord of the Rings (extended edition) with maaseru, maaboroshi and lmondegreen. Because of all the snow, josanpq couldn't make it - drat! - but she phoned.

It's a wonderful New Year's Day tradition.

Sauron has fallen and all's right with the world.

Would Miles & co. have read Dickens? I can quite see Miles enjoying playing Sidney Carton [very dramatically, of course].

Yes, I think Miles would enjoy Sidney Carton....

I don't recall the novels ever talking about books much, except for texts and the like. Aral and Cordelia don't seem particularly bookish. In fact, the books talk very little about popular culture. Do they go to plays? Watch movies and TV? Do they go to concerts, and if they do, is it rock or classical music>

I think in absence of a lot of had facts we can assume they are 'sort of like us', with variation as storyline dictates.

In which case, I can just picture Miles being most fond of A Tale of Two Cities and doing a Sidney Carton role very dramatically indeed.
