I want to read at least one Charles Dickens novel this coming year, but I am not sure which one I should read. What would you guys suggest?

I have read A Christmas Carol fyi.

My dad is who is brilliant reads Dickens all the time. I texted him when I read this and asked which one was his favorite. He said "David Copperfield". They are hard reads but man his use of the English language is astouding.

My personal favorite is Great Expectations.

But, I don't think you can go wrong with Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield or A Tale of Two Cities - he was as spot on as Twain or Fitzgerald, for my money (meaning if you like one, you'll like them all).

I remember when he made the Statue of Liberty disappear. That was awesome.

This.

All of the main ones have been recommended above. I would also add Bleak House to the list.

A Tale of Two Cities is my favorite Dickens novel - but they’re all good
