Love Twain and Steinbeck (most especially other works than Grapes of Wrath). Great Gatsby didn't work for me when I read it recently - just not my thing. I loved Catch 22 because I hadn't realized it was a comedy before I read it. It's tough because too often the best known past authors are unenjoyable to read.
