A Tale of Two Cities, and not just because I'm rereading it right now. I've been fascinated by the French Revolution for quite a while, and I love finding books that have different takes on it.

Oliver Twist out of those three, but my own favorites are David Copperfield and Pickwick Papers.

My favourite is definitely Great Expectations, with perhaps David Copperfield second. Oliver Twist would probably be my third. I still have to read A Tale of Two Cities, but I will eventually :)

A Christmas Carol most definitely! Got to read and see that every year at least once! I love the Patrick Stewart version for when I watch it! :) Dickens just makes me happy with this story!

It has been many years since I've read anything by Charles Dickens. A Christmas Carol is a great read. I was young when I read Great Expectations and honestly can't remember if I even finished it. I believe it is one of the hundreds of books I have boxed up in my storage shed. Either way, it appears I will be checking it out from the library! The movie is pretty good and I'm positive I will enjoy the book much better.

Boxed up? Storage shed? How much do you want for them? ;) :lol:

Hard Times, followed by a tie between David Copperfield and A Tale of Two Cities - I have yet to meet a Dickens book that I don't like, though.

I love all of them but it was "A Christmas Carol" i read the first of Charles Dickens and it had a great impact on me. So it is "A christmas Carol".

I'm a Dickens nerd this month. I just read Our Mutual Friend, and it's my new favorite.

Awesome! It's not one of his more popular novels, but in my top three or four, for sure!

A Christmas Carol....sadly that's the only one I've read so I must read the others as well.

I read The Pickwick Papers long ago and didn't like it much, but last year I read it again and absolutely loved it. For some reason I just didn't appreciate the humor the first time around, but the second time I thought it was excellent.
