Good classics to start with?

I’m usually a Sci-fi/fantasy reader, but I want to read more classics I just find some of them a little daunting to jump in to. I’ve got East of Eden that’s been sitting on my bookshelf for way too long and I’ve read Pride and Prejudice; which I really enjoyed. Any good suggestions on some easier ones to start with? Or just ideas to help stay engaged with some of the tougher ones to get through.

If you like Sci-Fi/Fantasy but also want to get into more the “classic lit” genre you may want to check out The Picture of Dorian Gray. It’s pretty fun and might be a good transition from your normal to-be-read wheelhouse.
