The Phantom Of The Opera by Gaston Laroux and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein are both great classics. The Gambler by Dostoevsky is really good as well.

Here are some of my personal favorites:
Dracula
Pride and Prejudice
If you liked The Adventures of Huck Finn, you might like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
I haven’t read The Picture of Dorian Grey (yet) but pretty much anything by Wilde is good.
Hope this helps!

I’m glad you liked Anna Karenina, I agree with you, I also loved it. That’s an interesting mix, I’ll try to match up my suggestions with them.
The Sound and the Fury
Look Homeward, Angel
The Great Gatsby
The Jungle Book
A Passage to India
The Power and the Glory
Nausea
Johnny Got His Gun
Sorry but I can’t seem to think of anymore good suggestions, well, Bulgakov’s The Master and the Margarita.

I like "War and Peace" and "Death of Ivan Ilych" by Tolstoy too – and "Anna Karenina."
I like everything Salinger wrote, though he may be at his best in "Nine Stories," a great collection of short fiction.
…and…
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde
"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte
"The House of Seven Gables" by Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe
"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
And you’re right… "there’s so much out there."
