If those are your options, I'd suggest the ones by Benito Pérez Galdós or Pedro de Alarcon. They are closer to contemporary spanish than the rest, some of which are medieval or Renaisance era and, while readily understandable, will have a fair amount of dated usage.

BTW, a good way to pick up spanish is off movie DVDs.
Turn on the Spanish soundtrack and english subtitles. Or, if you're familiar with the movie, both.
