To be fair, I think Dickens should be skipped both for boosts and for mandatory inclusion on high school reading lists. He got luckier than MC Hammer in somehow being in the right place at the right time wearing the right breeches.

His best chance of a Medium boost would be the painful and heartfelt personal memoir with an actionable takeaway

"My Dad Went to Gaol for His Debts! Here's What It Taught Me About Family Budgeting", ending with the line "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six , result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery".

Changed to dollars, of course, as Curators are scared of any cultural references from outside the US.
