Finally picked up Grapes of Wrath, and damn is it good. Steinbeck has such beautiful prose when he’s not writing southern dialect.
What other classics are still compelling today? If it’s any help, I don’t really dig Vonnegut, Asimov, and Huxley.

Steinbeck’s Of Mice & Men is a good quick read.
I still think To Kill a Mockingbird and Great Gatsby hold up well.
And the Waters Still Run by Angie Debo might be up your alley.
Have heard good things about The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah but personally have not read it yet.
