Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Nation by Terry Pratchett
The Hunchback of Notre Dame/ Notre Dame de Paris – Victor Hugo (this is not the Disney version – it’s a gothic tragedy)
A Canticle for Lebowitz – Walter Miller – classic scifi – about the rebuilding of society after collapse (kind of)
If We Were Villians – M J Roi (for something lighter – this is The Secret History lite, but with Shakespeare rather than greek classics. You may have fun recognizing the Shakespeare quotes throughout the book).

I have read Frankenstein, Fahrenheit 451, Dracula, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, I Robot, the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe, and probably both Shakepeare plays, at least a graphic novel of Beowulf, and I’m at least familiar with Treasure Island and might have read it in school.
