My favourite is Bleak House because it is just so amazingly complicated, with its wicked critique of Chancery courts, lawyers and the legal system, and the usual vast array of Dickensian characters- Esther is one of his least annoying heroines. There was an excellent BBC adaptation with Diana Rigg as Lady deadlock in the 80s.
