Moll Flanders and Roxanna by Daniel Defoe.
A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray.
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (this one can get a little monotonous but well worth the read).
Germinal by Emile Zola. I have read all these (and lots more) they are all excellent books. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Where the Red Fern Grows...I still have my childhood copy of this book.

If you like Brave New World, you might also enjoy Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by George Orwell. Those three are different views of the future; all very interesting.
Although Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice both rock.
