I have read To kill a mockingbird quite a few times and each time I find something I hadn't noticed before. Stephen King The Green Mile is addictive.

All of the thrillers by Raymond Chandler. Beautifully written in a sparse, laconic style with wonderful plots. WH Auden said that they are pure poetry. Give them a try.
