I have NO CLUE what "IB" is...I'm guessing a lit course of some ilk. Anyway, my all-time favorite books are Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" or Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo". Both are FABULOUS & lend themselves well to paper writing. "Two Cities" is a brilliantly crafted story set in a tumultuous period in French history. Dickens is a love or hate author -- I love him. "Count" is my favorite Dumas book. It is long, but well-worth reading. (The movie with cutie pie Jim Caviezel is good, too, but doesn't follow the book that closely.) Either of them will give you plenty of characters, themes, plot lines, symbols to analyze.
IMO, "Catcher in the Rye" & "Death of a Salesman" are two of the absolute WORST excuses for literature ever penned in English. "Death of a Salesman" is one long pity party. (& it's no better live than on paper.) "Catcher in the Rye" is just pointless. No deep analysis required there. Pointless is pointless. Just my 2 cents.

The Little Prince is simplistic, but FANTASTIC for symbolism. It's short though. Flowers for Algernon is a pretty good book for analyzing as well. Somewhat recent and not extremely long, but it addresses some current issues and is a pretty powerful book.

The Chocolate War is my favorite novel. It's easy to read, and has layers of meaning. I even think the novel, written in 1974, may have foreshadowed the conservative backlash of the 1980s.
