Though I love Great Expectations and Tale of Two Cities and have a soft spot for The Old Curiosity Shop.

Haven't yet read Bleak House but the TV series was completely entertaining and the Little Dorrit series was great as well.

I've determined lately to read all of his books - his ability to illustrate the human struggle never ceases to amaze and after every book I feel as though I've made ten new friends.
