I have to admit that I haven't ever read anything by Dickens. I've been meaning to get around to to it.

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...
