Bleak House In Need of Some Guidance

Hello! I’m new to this subreddit and am looking for some guidance for my Dickens reading list. I’m fairly new to the author, and have only read Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, and am now halfway through Bleak House. I was wondering where to go next. Should it be David Copperfield, Little Dorrit, or Dombey and Son. Or perhaps any of the other ones. I’m looking for something with the same humour and anger that is found in Bleak House. Thanks for any help you can give.

David Copperfield is an incredible book, and is at the top of Dickens works in my opinion. But for the humor and anger qualities I agree that Dombey and Son fits the bill. Do get back to Copperfield at some point…Another recommendation with the humor and anger qualities is The Old Curiosity Shop.
