I would say Victor Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Read some old literature that uses the old ways of speaking. This will stretch your brain and is a challenging read.
Read the OLD classics
Read Homer's epic The Odyssey, or try the Norse epic Beowulf.
Read some books by George Eliot.
You've barely scratched the surface with the "classics"!
Happy reading!

Dante's Inferno is a challenging read. Other books to read would be Paradise Lost by John Milton, and Crime and Punishment by Fydor Dostoevsky
