For a school report, a good choice will be Irving Stone's 'The Agony and the Ecstasy', a biographical novel about the life and times of Michelangelo.
Your report will stand out, for discussing an unusual book about an unusual artist.
Best of Luck.

If you liked Wuthering Heights, you might also like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin (also Sense and Sensibility and Emma), or Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (Emily's sister). Any of the Louisa May Alcott books such as Little Women are good reading and Alcott was very forward thinking for her time. I always enjoyed the books by Alexander Dumas, such as The Count of Monte Christo or The Three Musketeers. There is a whole series of the musketeer books full of adventure and intrigue. Steinbeck is excellent. The Grapes of Wrath, The Wayward Bus, Cannery Row. The possibilities are endless!!!!!

I've read it. I hated it. I'm not a Twiheart. But I can see why a Twiheart would like it. It's pretty much the same main themes as Twilight in the sense of two people forsaking everything else and everyone else just because of their own obsession with someone. To the point of destroying everyone else's lives in the name of love. And if that cover is real, I can only say high-five to them for capitalizing on the TwiLove.

Perhaps a more modern book like Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

Maybe the Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, or Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. 1984 by George Orwell would be good too. Anything by Jane Austen would work.

Seeing is how both the Irish(Joyce) and the English(Bronte) are represented....how about an American writer?
Hemingway-The Sun Also Rises
Twain/SC-Huckleberry Finn
Faulkner-The Sound and the Fury
F. Scott Fitzgerald-The Great Gatsby

If you want more stream of consciousness there's always Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, not that it's any good.
Read Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut.

You didn't mention which grade. How about The Mill on the Floss, by George Eliot?
