I have to look at all the writen books by dickens, now usualy it would be best to start reading from the first novel. i.e. BOZ
I have BOZ but have not started it yet. You have to read David Copperfield first, this gives an outline of Charles Dickens life as a boy to adult.
Once read you will observe his lust for words as a youngster and why.
As he matures his method of writing becomes more relaxed.
Try it, tell me if i am wrong.
Oliver Twist is really worth to read.
David Copperfield is great.. Great Expectation... i just can't forget that novel too..
"He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own,
The way the night comes when day is done."
Yikes! I loved it!Originally Posted by bazarov
I've not read all of his novels but I would recommend 'Great Expectations' if you're starting out. Haven't you heard? Angelina Jolie is reading it!

Great Expectations. Without a doubt.
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.
A Christmas Carol is short & sweet and gets you used to Dickens's style. My favorite is probably Great Expectations after that.
