I think the Dickens issue could be the same as the Austen issue: he’s so very popular it could be hard to find a title that people don’t have in common as already read. A willingness to reread is personal and probably varies by book, based on recency and frequency of having been read.

ETA: Oh, and length, even more so than Austen. Rereading Austen isn’t nearly the same time commitment as rereading most Dickens novels.
