You should try to pick up "Jane bites Back" by Michael Thomas Ford. I think you'd like that. :)

YMMV, as with all things - none of these are very classic or Dickens-like, or like much of the other stuff on your list, but they are the ones I read over and over and over ( ... )

The Yearling. It won the Pulitzer in 1939. I read it when I was 12 and just recently reread it. What a tremendous book. The author put such care and attention in to each and every sentence and it really shows.

Anything by Mark Twain.

The Plague Dogs (also by Richard Adams, the author of Watership Down).
