Barth, Dickens

I have read three of Karl Barth's books: Word of God and Word of Man, a bunch of homilies; Credo, a summary of his doctrinal beliefs; Community, State, and Church, three essays. None of them made a big impression on me, but then I read the volumes of Church Dogmatics. I also read Dickens' Bleak House, which I found not remarkable, and Little Dorritt, which I enjoyed more despite its now cliche plot. I am reading Pickwick Papers right now, as a break from Maritain. I also collected about 60 articles to read for my project on counterterrorism.
