I'm currently re-reading the Holmes canon, and having a great time doing it. The stories might not be the finest literature out there, but I highly doubt they'll ever fade away as they're a real joy and extremely entertaining.

I don't have much experience with Dickens, but I just started Oliver Twist last week - it looks like it won't disappoint.

Sherlock Holmes gives you something to do while waiting for the next HP book. Agatha Christie is also good. The best of British pulp fiction is timeless.
