I didn't really enjoy Huckleberry Finn.

I'll third Steinbeck. I'll add Faulkner. I'll add Kafka's The Trial as a great read.

For more modern classics, read John Updike's Rabbit Run.

I did something from every decade this year and found that I got a much better appreciation for how much stuff is out there to read. I loved my selections from the 1960s: John Updike, Ray Bradbury, Kenzaburo Oe, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick. There's so much goodness out there to read from those not quite old enough to be classic decades.
