Anything that'd be in the classics section in a library that isn't;

Catcher In the Rye
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Fahrenheit 451
Brave New World
1984

go go go

The Count of Monte Cristo and Don Quixote. I know these are labeled as classics by pratically everyone, much like those you listed, but they are very good and very old and are deserving of the title.

But it's good, so I'll let it slide ;)

That, Dracula, and Frankenstein pretty much make up all the classics I've read. So... yeah.
