Arguably all the novels except for Barnaby Rudge and The Old Curiosity Shop (although I'm partial to it myself), as well as his Christmas stories. If you want a shorter reading list then I think Bleak House, Great Expectations, David Copperfield are among his most admired.

Start with Tale of two cities, it's his best. Then go to David Copperfield, the one he considered his best.
