Great recommendations so far. I'll just add a few I haven't seen mentioned yet.
From the Russians, I would add Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog, and Sholokhov's And Quiet Flows the Don. The latter two are not public domain, but the Turgenev is.
Since you like science fiction, try David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus.
