Writersoul, for the same reason, Dickens is amazing. His chapters are long winded, but that’s only because his novels were published as a serial and they paid per word in those days. His characters are so well defined (think Micawber from David Copperfield) and you really understand them. My favourites are David Copperfield and Bleak House. I felt like I really understood the characters and got what they were about. Plus, Dickens’ novels were drawn on actual events (the court case in BH is based on a similar case that went on for years) and he paints a very real picture of what life was like in Victorian London.
