What would you say is the most accessible and interesting Dickens book, besides A Christmas Carol?
A Tale of Two Cities is the easiest read, I think.
Bleak House is not difficult, and I think it is perhaps the most interesting, alongside Little Dorrit, Our Mutual Friend and Edwin Drood. The last two will probably appeal to you more if you have already read some Dickens, although I don't know. I tend to recommend Tale and Bleak House or Little Dorrit.

I think I can safely say I'll read at least one "new" Dickens novel this year. Hopefully more.

I'm engaged in Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, for all intents and purposes, and cannot spare time.

I want to read Bleak House one day. Mainly so I can feel superior about Scots law. *NM*

Yeah, sheep aren't considered "persons" for purposes of English law, are they?

Don't forget that the southerly jurisdiction is actually "England and Wales".

But you have more of them than Wales does, even if Wales has a higher human to sheep density. *NM*

Are you telling me you've actually researched the sheep populations of Scotland and Wales?
