Interesting choices there...
Dickens...gotta go with David Copperfield
Hemingway...A Farewell to Arms
Tolstoy...of course...War and Peace
Of the three, I prefer Hemingway because of his simplistic style.

I really like Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea. I like Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Anna Kareinna by Tolstoy. The Old Man and The Sea is my favorite.

Hemingway was one of the greatest writers of his time. As was Tolstoy and as was Dickens. Now if you want to hate on an American author, hate Faulkner. If there ever was a writer to hate, it's him.
Anways.
In the middle of Great Expectations and it's looking to be a favorite of Dickens.
Hemingway-definitely Sun Also Rises for me, although I love all of his works. I find him an incredibly interesting man and I find his books fascinating. And that death joke really wasn't all that funny because it really wasn't all that true.
Tolstoy- I've only made my way through half of War and Peace, but I've dipped into Anna Karenina and I liked what I read there.

I'm not crazy about Dickens so don't have a favorite.
Favorite Hemingway is The Sun Also Rises and for Tolstoy it would be War and Peace. Hemingway is my favorite of the three.

Well, I've never read Tolstoy, so "no comment" on his work.
As for Dickens: Christmas Carol is OK, I suppose. Tale of Two Cities sucked though. I haven't read his other stuff.
Finally, Hemingway is god-awful! He's almost as bad as Steinbeck.
Here's a Hemingway joke for you:
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. To get the other side.
Q. Why did the chicken in the Hemingway novel cross the road?
A. To DIE...in the rain!

Please please read The Kreutzer Sonata by Tolstoy. Also read Andrea Dworkin on how Tolstoy treated his wife (and read her diaries). After all that, I think I still love Dickens the most. Great Expectations is a masterpiece. So is Little Dorrit. His worst book, in my opinion, is The Old Curiosity Shop. Read his journalism, which is excellent. I live in a village in Sussex where Dickens came to once to read his work to men and women who couldn't read. The building is now luxury flats!
