Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
Don Quixote - Miguel Cervantes

Maybe you should try some classic. Well I do read some classic. Here are the list of classic which i like very much.
1. Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens
It is a good story about a boy life in Briton
2. Charlotte Temple, Susanna Rowsan
It is also about a British girl life with tragic consequences
3. Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson
Interesting. It is about good vs evil
4. Sherlock Holmes, Sir Author
Investigation.....
Try Shakespeare books. It is quite nice.
