That, plus the one I tried to read because it's so famous but couldn't finish because it's so dull.

and to think that people were so eager to find out what happened in the next installment of some of these stories that it caused riots at the docks where they were being unloaded.

Believe it or not, there are some of us who love Dickens! The first time I read Pickwick, I laughed out loud many times. My 90-pound German Shepherd once ate part of my copy of Tale...I paid to have it repaired and rebound. The PBS production of Martin C. is worth watching just for the characters....

Dickens characters are the best! Comic, tragic, morbid, ridiculous, sublime ... each is truly unique. I especially love their names! I mean, what else could you name Uriah Heep? He's the heepiest of all heeps. ;)

Could there maybe be a caveat to say it includes his novellas? I am feeling just a little bit cheated :-/
