The ultimate Christmas classic. Social commentary (which is unfortunately and surprisingly timeless), ghosts, tale of morality, tale of woe and greed, tale of isolation,...whatever way you want to spin it, this story has it. There's not much to say on the subject that hasn't been said. Great, classic book.

Audiobook, Tim Curry version, [b:A Christmas Carol|12251075|A Christmas Carol|Charles Dickens|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386868686s/12251075.jpg|3097440]: Curry was a fantastic choice. His voice is rich and deep, able to affect both a gravelly texture or an oily smarminess, as needed. My only problem with Curry's performance was the effect his surprisingly deep voice has on his ability to tune into a female register. He never quite made that work, but luckily (for this reference) there are few women speakers throughout the book.
