Lord of the Flies is interesting but I'm sure you've already read it.

I'm actually reading a John Steinbeck novel right now *not literally at this very second, but you know what I mean* called East of Eden and I've already read of Mice and Men. I really like East of Eden so far.
I'd suggest Beloved, by Toni Morrison
For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway
To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
Catcher in the Rye, by JD Salinger
All the King's Men
The Great Gatsby
The Bell Jar
House of Mirth
Mrs. Dalloway
Flowers for Algernon
The Handmaid's Tale
The Joy Luck Club
The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat

East of Eden is wonderful reading as well as of Mice & Men & The Grapes of Wrath. All were made into great classic movies as well.
