I like his writings. You loose yourself in this. My favorite till now is David Copperfield. I have some very nice old editions with the illustrations by Fitch.

This anti-semitism thing I have never noticed while I read. Althrough I have not read Oliver Twist. But in the other books are lots of seriously bad and evil protagonists and none of them is Jewish.
Perhaps I start Twist the next weeks. Than I can judge.
