My favourites from public domain is pretty dull and predictable, but:
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells: just a superb story and you can read it seriously or in a campy sort of way and I think it works both ways. If anyone hasn't read this they should.
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. A great science fiction story.
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Probably my favourite of all time. Read it as both an actual change in the person or read it as how a person may think that their job is changing them. I love Kafka for the many levels you can read his stories on. Just a brilliant writer.
The Trial by Franz Kafka. Same as above. If you haven't read Kafka, you should. A little darker and more sinister than The Metamorphosis.
The Call of the Wild by Jack London. I just really liked this book.
And I also might give Vera a try when I get through some other books.
