What should I read next?
25 Answers
I'm rereading the books I read as a child. Lord of the flies, the great Gatsby, a cider with rosie, To kill a mockingbird (still can't get through it)
On the whole I'm enjoying them much more with the benefit of a couple of decades.
Have I missed any classics?

Agree with Bathsheba that Twenty Thousand Streets under the Sky is excellent
Tim Pears "In a Land of Plenty" or "A Revolution of the Sun" are great as are most of John Irving's books, particularly "A Prayer for Owen Meaney" and "Cider House Rules"
Margaret Attwood is brilliant, try "Alias Grace" or "The Blind Assassin".
These are more modern classics but have you ever read any DH Lawrence - certainly worth a go
