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 just finished reading Bram Stoker's Dracula and thought it was one of the best out of the Gothic horror canon. It's written in a really interesting way and makes good commentary about British anxieties about imperial decline. Also obligatory recommendation for The Brothers Karamazov.
