Oh, Bleak House is SO worth it!! You just need to adopt my style of reading Dickens - the guy got paid by the page (or at least I heard that once), and the sections where he was evidently hard up for that month are pretty evident - I just scan read those sections. But Bleak House is well worth reading. If you get bogged down in a slow part, just skip over it.

IIRC, Northanger was one of CS Lewis' favorite novels for just a fun read.
