Dickens' Greatest Novels - a Poll
We saw Time's Top 10, so now it's time to see if we agree with their ranking. The novels are ordered by date of first publication.

My vote goes to Great Expectations.

A very difficult choice indeed. But since I have to pick one it's got to be David Copperfield.

I voted for Great Expectations. I enjoyed it reading it in high school. I recently read Bleak House, and it didn't do much for me.

I also voted for Great Expectations, but I will admit to only having read Grate Expectations by Edmund Wells. Don't know much about this Dickens guy...

I haven't read enough Dickens to vote, but I do remember enjoying Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist once upon a time...

It's more of a novella than a novel.
