Poor boy Pip grows up infatuated with the privileged Estella who lives with her eccentric recluse aunt, Ms. Havisham. Only money can improve Pip’s lot in life and love. Dickens' richly-drawn characters and beautifully descriptive storytelling will pull readers into this tale of mystery, unrequited love, money, class, and morals.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Rewind
Who did these assholes think they were, asking me about my personal business? I wasn’t one bit amused by any of this bullshit. Some dumb little tramp got my dick sick. I’ll slit her throat when I figure out which one it was. What kind of bullshit was this, anyway? Why did they need to know how many bitches I’ve bagged? Fuck them, I just made one up.
