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.

    Dickens is neat, he's sentimental and sympathetic and all the characters are a kind of guy, sanctimonious lib, incel, manchild. Bleak house, every kind of guy they'd invented at the time was in that book.
