I didn’t have any exposure to Dickens until later in my life. (My dad was military, and I changed schools nearly every year)

My favorite is “The Tale of Two Cities” followed by “David Copperfield” and “Great Expectations”.

It has been great for me to be exposed to these later in life. I don’t watch television, so when I can’t read anymore, and every movie and television series is available online, I will be able to spend my dottering days watching things I have never seen like “Hill Street Blues” and “The Simpsons”...:)

All great. I would also recommend Bleak House and The Pickwick Papers. Some Dickens I experienced early, some late, all terrific.
