What would you say is the most accessible and interesting Dickens book, besides A Christmas Carol?

A Tale of Two Cities is the easiest read, I think.
Bleak House is not difficult, and I think it is perhaps the most interesting, alongside Little Dorrit, Our Mutual Friend and Edwin Drood. The last two will probably appeal to you more if you have already read some Dickens, although I don't know. I tend to recommend Tale and Bleak House or Little Dorrit.

I think I can safely say I'll read at least one "new" Dickens novel this year. Hopefully more. Legolas - 07/02/2012 07:47:30 PM 844 Views

I'm engaged in Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, for all intents and purposes, and cannot spare time. Tom - 07/02/2012 09:39:59 PM 1008 Views
I want to read Bleak House one day. Mainly so I can feel superior about Scots law. *NM* Tim - 08/02/2012 08:28:43 PM 374 Views
Yeah, sheep aren't considered "persons" for purposes of English law, are they? *NM* Tom - 09/02/2012 01:26:46 AM 371 Views
Don't forget that the southerly jurisdiction is actually "England and Wales". Tim - 09/02/2012 08:21:31 AM 880 Views
But you have more of them than Wales does, even if Wales has a higher human to sheep density. *NM* Tom - 09/02/2012 04:44:37 PM 369 Views
Are you telling me you've actually researched the sheep populations of Scotland and Wales? Tim - 09/02/2012 09:45:34 PM 799 Views
A Google search takes seconds. Tom - 09/02/2012 11:44:02 PM 829 Views
I almost always read at least one of his works every year. Jacob - 09/02/2012 06:21:38 PM 1061 Views
