Yes, love Dickens. "Great Expectations," especially, but also really liked the (looooong) story of "Martin Chuzzlewitt." I've liked all Dickens in one way or another.
Humor/humour - Most Europeans prefer the British "-our" words. Those who learned English in America, sometimes prefer the shorter English version of spelling. The first spelling is correct in the U.S.; the second for British English. Take your pick!
The novel I mentioned was one of my recent personal "discoveries," free classics from Amazon.com for Kindle. "The Forsaken Inn - A Novel" by Anna Katherine Green. Here's the "review" link, to which I also contributed:

It is also free online.
@Spring;love this piece.Only thing missing;Owls!
my neighbour is really a rare species bird
she listens to silence not speaking a word
she eats through her books like a rat through the junk
she likes emo looks but she hates to hear punk
she never goes dancing, but aerobics:yes
it's good for the line,she says, better for stress
she really regrets moneytrees are just tales
and to tiny fish she prefers giant whales

Good character sketch (a' la modern Charles Dickens) of a woman with a narrow life. I prefer to say "claustrophobic" life, but that can be taken two different ways!
Thanks, Frankie! Yes indeed, it's to be taken with a bit of sarcastic salt though
By the way "Frisco" is the old Finnish way to say San Francisco. It's mainly used in old songs
To all who have visited this thread during this autum: a huge THANK YOU

Thanks for criticism, advice, praise, corrections, Doug; Frankie, Pinky, Glorious Queen, Emmy,Patricia, Teshka, Mexico, O.I and all whom I forget to mention by name here

Somehow strange, but it was Frankie and Zakynthos who convinced me to start putting some of it here.
I don't regret and all feedback is always welcome.
