There was this:

Which was quite interesting.

Martin Chuzzlewit, by name.

It should also be noted that other names that have come into common usage are also from Dickens: Uriah Heep, "Scrooge," Pecksniff, Artful Dodger ...

I have a complete collection of Dickens' works, and I make it a point to re-read at least one of them every year.

"I am born"

Best opening line to a novel ever.

My mother’s prized possession was a red leather bound set of Dickens my father bought her when they lived in England in the 1950s. They were old when Daddy bought them for her.
