The one hundred and twenty-ninth book: #1020 A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
The Muppets Christmas Carol is a regular Christmas movie with the in-laws, so I've seen it plenty of times now. One of the brilliant parts of it is how it uses so much of the book's original dialogue and text, but still makes it feel accessible. The book is suited for it - it's pretty short, especially for Dickens' usually work - and the dialogue is kept simple for the time. Add to that the strong visual descriptions, where the ghosts in particular are well described. It's sentimental, of course, but it's a really good, readable book.
