Why not try George Orwell's "Animal Farm," and the futuristic novel, "1984" (written around early 1940s). You are going to flip over these books with all the parallels you will draw!
Also, here's my "Bible" which helped me learn about people and society, cliques, political ploys, the senselessness of committees, etc., I refer to Ayn Rand's famous book, "The Fountainhead," and I assure you that you will also enjoy this book and want to have your own copy! AFTERWARD, read her other famous book, "Atlas Shrugged." Oh, you're in for a treat!

Without knowing your age, I would recommend for junior high and early high school students: Ethan Frome, Lady Chatterly's Lover, Wuthering Heights, Scarlet Letter, Little Women, Catcher in the Rye & Frankenstein. I would recommend for older high school and college students: East of Eden, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Lolita, Satanic Verses, Don Quixote, Jude the Obscure and The Awakening.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is one of my all-time favorites.
I LOVE John Steinbeck. If you haven't read "Of Mice and Men", you should. I also recommend "The Grapes of Wrath". Don't be intimidated by the title. It's a lot easier to read than I thought it would be.

It's an amazing book.
Try "Bridge to Terabithia" which is a beautiful novel they are currently turning into a movie.
