Scotch and holy water is an amazing read, super interesting story.

I recommend you also get the Cliff Notes to whatever classic book you read.
Lots of us here are pretty literal and some of the abstract concepts and symbols go above our heads.
Also, some of the English classics like Shakespeare use antiquated language that need some outside clarification for our day.

I tend to be mostly on Yea Forums and I scroll Yea Forums for feet porn.
Crime and Punishment is a nice and simple book to get you started
But if you want an extended list go ask people on Yea Forums

Classics might actually depend on where you live. The classics from your country might appeal more to your identity, as a member of that community.
So, whereabouts, OP?

Classics aren't popular these days because they're considered too White. But they gained classic status for a reason, coz they're good reads. If you had to read stuff at school it kinda spoils them too. Or do you actually mean classics in the greek sense. Anyways

What do you consider classics?
Ancient works, polybius, Suetonius, Plutarch, and Livy are all great.
Shakespeare deserves the hype.
For 19th century Mark Twain is seriously undervalued as literature. Reread him as an adult, it’s worth it. His travel accounts and other non fiction are great.
That’s a few recs off the top of my head. But the most important thing is to read a bunch and then decide what you like and read more.

Read them all for free
on eEditions downloaded from: gutenberg.org
Store all downloads on a Kindle Fire
Take it with you wherever you go.
Not worth recommending actual individual titles:
there are far too many of them.
Jaxson Long
read the NT then Josephus with a focus on parallel events. ie learn how Jesus was created. Combined they're the greatest work of literature ever created.
Robert Scott
Read some Joseph Conrad besides Heart of Darkness (which is good but the only book people are exposed to) , Uptain Sinclair besides besides The Jungle. And some Walter Scott besides Ivanoe. Too often people forget about classic writers other books. And of course Dickens (recommend Bleak House) and Kipling. Soldiers Three is good if you can get past the accents and the short "Without Benefit of Clergy" is definitely worth the read if you're looking for feels..
Levi Rogers
Read Gilgamesh. Penguin edition is less accurate but more literary. Good reminder that throughout human history we've ben asking the same questions: what's the point and what happens after?
Nicholas Long
Ryder Reyes
most useless most compelling list of instructions ever
Austin Rogers
1984 by George Orwell; more useful now than ever.
Joseph Kelly
Histories. Herodotus.
Ryder Gutierrez
Perfect for op
