Ah, good to find a fellow Dickens lover on hive!
I haven't read many Dickens novels, this is my third actually but I can safely say this gotta be one of the finest books I've ever read.
I do love reading long books too. Although the current one Im reading aint that long, It's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" By Anne Bronte. So far it started really well.

Wow, that's a feat indeed. I dropped Atlas Shrugged at 25%, I couldn't go on.
Anne Bronte is quite underrated and overshadowed by her sisters I'd say.
