Finally picked up Grapes of Wrath, and damn is it good. Steinbeck has such beautiful prose when he's not writing southern dialect.
What other classics are still compelling today? If it's any help, I don't really dig Vonnegut, Asimov, and Huxley.

If you want to stick with some more Steinbeck check out East of Eden. One the best books I’ve ever read. I like Steinbeck a lot though. Also, Shirley Jackson and Flannery O’Connor are excellent
"A Good Man Is Hard to Find" and "Good Country People" are so fucking good. Flannery rules.
East of Eden is the novel I come back to every couple of years. Life's circumstances always alters the meaning of the text.
