The Old Man and the Sea, Coral Island, Lord of the Flies, Kidnapped, to name but a few.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Read The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald paired with The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck.  Both are accessible and give scathing critiques of the American way of life in very different ways

Answer 5

The famous Five written by Enid Blyton....

Answer 6

Of the ones I've read so far in my short life:

Pride and Prejudice

A Separate Peace

Jane Eyre

Fahrenheit 451

The Tempest (technically, not a novel)

And since someone mentioned Poe, I have to, too, even though he wasn't a novelist, but then, I've already put a play, so I think I may as well include a writer of short stories and poetry. Aside from his work, in the classic short-stories category, Bartleby the Scrivener is one of my pics for "best"; it's amazing, in a spectacularly depressing way.

Answer 7

Classified as Authors who wrote Classics like Poe and Dickens. They have interesting gripping plots. Especially Poe with his horror and mystery novels which use to and still maybe scare the jibbers out of people.
