So far I've read Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Dombey and Son, Bleak House, Little Dorrit, A Tale of Two Cities, and Our Mutual Friend. I haven't read The Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop, Barnaby Rudge, Martin Chuzzlewit, Hard Times, or Edwin Drood. I can't decide if I should reread David Copperfield or Bleak House or continue reading the rest of his novels. I usually read a Dickens novel each year. His novels are long, so they're a big time investment. I'm caught between reading one I already know to be good or reading one of the ones I have remaining, all of which are considered his lesser works. Should I continue reading the rest of his novels? Is there a drop off in quality for the remaining ones I haven't read?
