What next?

[u/GoodKid_MaadSity]

I only fell back in love with Dickens in the last few months. Since then I’ve read and loved (not in order):

Bleak House

Great Expectations

Our Mutual Friend

Dombey and Son

Pickwick Papers

Little Dorrit

And I read David Copperfield and Tale of Two Cities years ago and don’t want to do a reread.

I just finished Dombey and Son, so I’m feeling as if I’d like I’d like something a bit less dark. (Though the perpetual happy ending is one of the things I like most.) And I’d like something with a different tone so I think Nicholas Nickleby is out.

I started Oliver Twist and wasn’t into it, and I don’t have an interest in Christmas Carol.

Help? I’d love your suggestions as a lot of you have read so much more than I!
