Sorry, something went wrong.
The title has appeared twice in the book title list since faker-ruby#484 (Dec 2015), when the list was bulk-replaced with titles sourced from Wikipedia. Both Reginald Hill's novel and Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities Book 1 share the name, so the source list had two entries that were pasted without deduplication.

Motivation / Background
Faker::Book.title can return "Recalled to Life" with twice the expected probability because it appears twice in the title list (lines 141–142 of lib/locales/en/book.yml).
The duplicate has been present since #484 (Dec 2015), when the book title list was bulk-replaced with titles sourced from Wikipedia. Both Reginald Hill's novel and Book 1 of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities share the name, so the source list had two entries that were pasted without deduplication.
This PR removes one of the two identical entries.
