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.

I did read Asimov a lot as kid, not Foundation though. That I picked up only when I was a Marxist and its gender roles and great man theory did chafe me the wrong way. Though I am happy that it works for you and Green Tea :)
What great man theory? The only great man applicable would be Seldon and all he did was The Math, everything else was based on any needed individuals arising as a result of material circumstances, which drive everything, which is the opposite of great man theory?
