So far I have read 1984, The Catcher in the rye, Of mice and men.

Let's see:

Crime and Punishment
The Brothers Karamazov
War and Peace
Anna Karenina
Family Happiness (more of a short story)
The Metamorphosis
Basically any short story written by Edgar Allan Poe
Bartleby the Scrivener (short story by Herman Melville, very good)


I haven't read some of these but considering their place in world and historical literature I'd say they are staples.

I Am Legend - Richard Matheson is a staple of the science fiction genre, and I personally love that book.

Animal farm would be the logical next step. Not long, but very good.

Then I would recommend Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
