Lots of great books mentioned above. Some additional titles:
Elizabeth Gaskell wrote some other excellent novels, including "Cranford" and "Wives and Daughters"
Charles Dickens - "Bleak House" - who could forget Mr. Tulkinghorn and Harold Skimpole, and it includes a spontaneous human combustion
Anthony Trollope - "Barchester Towers" in the Barsetshire books (see issybird's comments above) is probably my favourite novel, but Trollope wrote many other excellent novels, particularly the Palliser novels - "Can You Forgive her?", "Phineas Finn", "The Eustace Diamonds", ...
William Makepeace Thackeray - "Vanity Fair" - You'll want to hiss at Becky Sharpe and shake Amelia Sedley
