Well I picked Bleak House, because I read it so long ago that I really need to dive in again. But all of them sound great, especially Dumas. I need to go learn French.
Dumas is also translated to English, as The Lady of the Camellias, though I think the poll uses the most popular version of all editions and in this case it happens to be French :).
Yes, that's the case, Maarit! Editions used here are the most popular in Goodreads, but of course, you can read whichever one you like or are able to find etc..
For those who can't find a paper copy, I leave links to free pdf copies in spanish and english:
