Given the interest in sci-fi, if it were me, I'd make a point of reading HG Wells, Jules Verne and some of the very early voices from the 30s and 40s (L Ron Hubbard, the Tom Swift novels, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and all those writers who got their start in the pulps). Then again, if you just mean "classics", there is no shortage of Plato or Mark Twain, etc.
