I've read quite a few on your list which I find brilliantly eclectic! You should enjoy The Awakening, their Eyes Were Waching God, The Hobbit, and especially Les Miserables, which eventually I would like to reread in English. The first time it took me a long time because I read it in French. I could probably read it faster in French today but I'm curious to see how the translation is. We also have some titles in common like Orlando, Moby Dick, Persuasion, and Bonjour Tristesse. I'm in the process of reading David Copperfield so another Dickens might be just a little too much however I'd like to read A Tale of Two Cities.
