Anyone reading David Copperfield at the moment? Curious whether the opening gives a fair idea of the rest.

Ciaran, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

David Copperfield is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Caoimhe, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering David Copperfield: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
