I'm so late with this - but I didn't have an LJ when you posted it!

I'd recommend Bleak House, my favorite Dickens. it's complicated and haunting. Dickens invented a structure for his novel known as the "Bleak House" structure!): alternating sections in first perston and omniscient narrator. It works.

I'd also recommend A Suitable Boy, sort of Trollopean but set in India. Fun. Umm..for those who sometimes like a throwback to 19th c. novels! You might not (notes lack of Dickens in bold print....).
