A Tale of Two Cities is a great book, and it's a story that many more modern movies, TV shows, etc. are based on.
Crime & Punishment is a heavier read than the books you listed, but it's worth the effort for its exploration of the human psyche.
One Hundred Years of Solitude is from a different time period (and continent), and it's a lot quirkier than the books you mentioned, but it deals with family and community interactions just like Jane Eyre & Wuthering Heights.
Enjoy your reading!

Far from the Madding Crowd is a novel by 19th century English novelist Thomas Hardy, published in 1874. The title is apt, as the life of the book's heroine, Bathsheba Everdene, living in the quiet rural village of Weatherbury is indeed disrupted by the "madding crowd". After shunning the first man to love her, the shepherd Gabriel Oak, she is courted by two others: the lonely and repressed farmer Boldwood, and the charming but faithless Sergeant Troy. The role of fate is clearly established, with each twist and turn in the book being more luck than the choice of one of the characters. The book is widely seen as Hardy's first masterpiece.

Anything by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens.
J.K. Rowling is the modern children's classics author (classics being defined as having classical themes such as the #3 is repetetive, no parental authority, etc).
You can also do a search for Harvard Classics. This is the reading list that all Harvard Graduates are required to read.

The Scarlet Letter, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Gone with the Wind. Enjoy! Oh yes, Edgar Allan Poe is pretty good too.

If you like Jane Eyre, you'll probably like Pride and Prejudice or other works by Jane Austin.

Having not read the classics you mentioned, I'll offer some that gave me many hours of enjoyment.
Of Mice and Men, The Catcher in the Rye, The Scarlet Letter, & Moby Dick.
Enrich your mind, and broaden your horizons.
Happy Reading

I think you might enjoy Point Counter Point by Aldous Huxley, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, or Silas Marner by George Eliot. Happy reading!
