Slightly off topic, but Dickens is a fantastic writer, I haven't read anyone as good as him (or even close) at writing engaging stories. Shakespeare is better with languages, but Dickens writes better.

And if you want to read him, gutenberg has him (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/730).

Highly recommended.
