Relavent thread is relavent. Curious too, I want to start Dicken's but my only reading is Great Expectations which I found dire.

Also Desmond Hume states it's the last book he'll read before he dies. Therefore it must be good.

And I was wondering if Bleak House was an OKAY start point?

Start anywhere, BH and Two Cities are two of the better books. Not a great fan of Dickens myself because of how drawn out everything is, he does have his moments of satirical brilliance though like the opening of Hard Times (openings in general are his strength)
