If it is, I recommend everything by Lovecraft.

Well, not so much "classic literature," as it is "classic horror." Close enough, though.
Also, Gravity's Rainbow. Haha, just kidding.

oh god, I'm trying to read Gravity's Rainbow right now and it is extremely slow going. It's so hard to follow, sometimes I have to read whole pages again just to remember what character is being dealt with.
I almost never give up on a book, but I'm seroiusly considering it with this one.

I felt that way about Ulysses, though I feel bad because I know it's supposed to be an amazing read :|
Wasteroo:
it is oh my god it is
you may need to use sparknotes or something similar to know what the hell is going on sometimes though
Blyss:
The Most Dangerous Game was and still is a favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It wasn't required reading, but as a child I read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn - just because I wanted to. I have fond memories of both.
Ozymandias:
The point of a book is to be read and enjoyed. Joyce is not enjoyable to read. He is only enjoyable to learn about completely irrelevant shit outside of reading the book then come back to the book and rub your dick on it.
Which, not coincidentally, is something I'm sure he did on the regular.
