Not to stick my oar in, but....
I cant recommend One Hundred years of solitude enough, one of my favourite books. Also American Pastoral is great.
Never had any time for Thomas Hardy, its all a bit meh to me. If you are in the right mood Wuthering Heights is actually a bit of a blast, you can scream through it in no time. Maybe with Kate Bush in the background...

Book update:-
Finished A Canticle for Leibowitz a while back, will maybe add the sequel to my list to read in the future, then read What if? by Randall Munroe (of xkcd fame) as some light relief.
The Expected Goals Philosophy by James Tippett was next for some nerdy football stats action (I once did quite a bit of research into value betting systems, luckily I worked out that the bookies had most stuff covered and I didn't have the spare cash to make anything worthwhile).
Next on my pile is Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley. Read the original a few years ago and I'd bought this but never read it.
Then I was going to attempt to catch up on the books I never read/finished in our book club (there are 14 of them but a couple I'll pass on unless I'm utterly deperate. The 12 are:-
Tess of the D'Urbevilles, American Pastoral, Stoner, Wuthering Heights, Catcher in the Rye, Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow, Pregnant Widow, The Audacity of Hope, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Never Let Me Go, A Portait Of The Artist As a Young Man, The End of the Affair
Then back to finish off We by Yevgeny Zamyatin as I got 5 pages in to that a while back and then got distracted.
Pile of books to go to the charity shop (whenever things return to normal) slowly increasing.
