For myself, I've always enjoyed Jules Verne and of course Tolkien. More modern "classics" that I find are wonderful books are Slaughter House Five, Grapes of Wrath, and Of Mice and Men.

1st bold Love you for what you are doing. Not only the vocabulary, but all the places and those old ways that maybe never existed and now are no more, but that make food for imagination and tie us to one of our cultural past. Great. Karma on your way.
2nd bold Love you even more for that.
