I'm Interested in some classic novels?

Question

My AP Lit teacher has given us carte-blanche to choose a third marking period, independent reading novel.

The only stipulation is that the novel must be old enough to have several literary critiques or criticisms.

What are some of your favorite, older, classic novels?

I've just finished reading a book that I read in 1970's called

Hardacre by C L Skelton
I love the early part of the first Hardacre book (by C L Skelton, I think), when Sam Hardacre and his family leave the fish-gutting business and start selling hot sausages at the race-tracks. They live on whatever wages Sam has earned that day (typically fourpence) and always put a little bit away in the tin box. When Sam gets an infection in his finger and can no longer handle the gutting, his wife Mary persuades him to use the couple of guineas in there to invest in the makings of the sausage business.
