The SF branch is a small but lively group that concentrates on reading and discussion of Dickens's works, keeping a theme in mind. The group has agreed to add works of other Victorian writers that complement the themes of the Dickens works, or were championed by or worked with Dickens. So, we have added George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, Henry James, Walter Scott, Barbara Kingsolver, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Jane Austen, Wilkie Collins, Edgar Allen Poe (whom he met), and Mark Twain. The members also have spent some time reading books that Dickens read and which may have influenced his writing, such as The Arabian Nights. The members are willing to explore many avenues of interest with Dickens as the lodestone.
