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.

Yeesh, I started La Terre but didn't get that far. And yes, Zola's eugenicist ideas are weird. Like I said, he libs out sometimes. He did stick his neck out during the Dreyfus affair, however, and he was probably assassinated for it.
