Clic novels suggestion?

Scarlet Letter is a really good book. I always say it's goth lit at its very best. I haven't read anything by Austen, but I have heard she is really funny. Which surprised me. At least one of the famous female clic authors were supposed to be funny and I think it was her. Other clics I personally would recommend are Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. It's very short but very powerful. I would also recommend Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. Beware it is an incredibly difficult read for most people. It's still a good read though. There's also A Clockwork Orange which is a philosphical novel. There's also Catch 22 and Cat's Cradle which are political satire. The Stranger by Albert Camus. Les Miserables the full translation is the best. That's really all that I can think of at the moment. Keep in mind persona l preferences. Hope I helped. Happy reading.
