I'm 13 and I've read Jane Eyre, How To Kill A Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath and some others that I can't remember. What are some good books along those lines that are interesting to read?

Right sorry the 'how to' was a mistake and I have read it otherwise what would be the point of writing it down?

I was going to say Jane Eyre, but you've already read it! In this case, I would strongly reccomend Wuthering Heights, by Charlotte Bronte's sister, Emily Bronte. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are two of my very favorite novels.
I would also reccomend the author Jane Austen, particularly her novel Pride and Prejudice. It is not one of my favorites, but is very good, and extremely highly regarded by many.
Charles Dickens (my favorite fiction author) wrote wonderful, wonderful novels, but they are long, and on a pretty high reading level, so you may want to wait. I personally say go for it! and if you aren't enjoying the book, come back to in a few years.
I hope this was helpful!

Gone With the Wind, Wuthering Heights, Emma, Pride and Prejudice. You could also try some Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne (The Scarlett Letter, The Last of the Mohicans); Uncle Tom's Cabin, etc. Sounds as though you also might like the Anne of Green Gables series. They're young adult, but awesome classics. I loved them when I was your age.
Never too early to start Shakespeare, if you're interested. Try the sonnets or a light play, such as "As You Like It," or "Much Ado about Nothing."
If you're into it, try the Lord of the Rings novels, if you haven't yet. They're pretty good too.
PS Animal Farm is by George Orwell, if you'd like to read it. Good choice, too, to the person who said that.

There is no classic entitled "How to Kill a Mockingbird". The title is "To Kill a Mockingbird". It makes me wonder if you've really read it. If not, please do. If you enjoyed Jane Eyre, try Wuthering Heights or Pride and Prejudice. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is another wonderful book you might like.

I suggest you read Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are some of my favorite). She's a great classics author.
Along with Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol is one you just HAVE to read).
I also suggest Gone With the Wind. It's fairly long, but an enjoyable read.
And, I know most are afraid, but it never hurts to at least try out some Shakespeare. Try books called No Fear Shakespeare where it translates the text into modern form.

Bronte's Wuthering Heights in case you prefer an astonishing love tale besides as crying your eyes out and desirous to throw the e book around the room once you're complete because of the fact there is not any section 2 :) Bronte's Jane Eyre for the creep component on my own. Frankenstein is quite solid fairly in case you learn it at a school point--the motives make the story greater astonishing. this is extraordinarily unhappy. Jonathan quick's A Modest notion --completely loopy. something interior the Rougon-Maquart sequence via Emile Zola (Nana, L'Assomoir, L'Ouevre), Homer's Iliad (solid conflict stroy). The Trial via Franz Kafka--all concerning the criminal gadget and the nightmare of being trapped in it (!). Euripides Medea (psycho mom!) Uncle Tom's Cabin is honestly solid too once you notice what human beings could be decreased to. detrimental. that could desire to shop you busy for slightly :)

'The Bridge of San Louis Rey' is a classic novel, not long at all, but it's so intriguing. i read it two years ago and it still comes to mind as one of the best books i have read in a while.
For a very relatable narrator, i suggest 'Catcher in the Rye', it's a novel about a boy growing up but it is a very easy read, really good.
hope that helps!!

My favorite classic author is the much over-looked Anthony Trollope. Try "Orley Farm" and the 6 books that comprise "The Chronicles of Barsetshire." Just superb literature.

Wuthering Heights by Emile Bronte is one of my favorites.
Animal farm, I don't remember the author but I guess it's a fable about Comunism.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a quick read and awesome, by Truman Capote.
BYE :)
