My short list:
The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
David Copperfield (my favorite by Dickens)
Pretty much any of Shakespeare's tragedies and historical plays.
The books I find I read over at least once a year though are
Seven Japanese Tales by Tanizaki and some of Kafka's short to medium length stories, including
The Metamorphosis.

I just read
To Kill a Mockingbird once more a few months ago and it was still excellent.
