For "should read" = "should enjoy", I would like to make a special mention of "Wuthering Heights" and "Villette" by the Brontes. I had a completely different experience from reading "Wuthering Heights" in my thirties vs when I read as a kid. The book's atmosphere and the characters left a deep impression on me. Also, "Ivanhoe" by Sir Walter Scott. That book is such fun to read! Another one, "Demons" by Dostoevsky. A book that is interesting as well as slightly disturbing.
