Classics and Modern Classics for People Who Don't Like Classics and Modern Classics

I generally don't like classics or modern classics, but I keep an open mind in trying them. These are the one's that I enjoyed. If you're not really a fan of classics either, maybe you'll enjoy these too.
I will update the list as I read more books.
