The Great Gatsby. Quite good, though I later watched the newest movie adaptation and was disappointed at their interpretation of it.

I've read Gatsby a couple of times, albeit twenty years ago. I just never could see why it's supposed to be great literature. A tale about self indulgent, self absorbed rich people. But then, that's what I thought about Wuthering Heights, too.
Currently, a volume of Sherlock Holmes.

Need to get around to Wuthering Heights. In regard to Gatsby, I suppose it just depends on individual preference. Personally, I really enjoyed Fitzgerald’s writing style, and while all the characters were horribly flawed, I still liked the storyline. Honestly, I was sad at the end, but I guess that was Fitzgerald’s point about wealth: it doesn’t make you happy, and quite often it makes your life worse.

Or the other Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre is awesome! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it at least.

But if you liked that, you might enjoy Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, a story about the woman Rochester eventually locked in his attic.
