Public Domain Book Recommendations

I'm currently trying to get better at reading and am doing that by accumulating a library of public domain books, since they're free and easily available.

If you have a specific work you love that was published pre-1928, or is currently not under copyright, feel free to comment it down below.
if you have any authors you think are worth reading, also post them below.

I'm currently reading Jack London's "War of the Classes", and I have "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde downloaded for later.

I am a big fan of Leo Tolstoy. His biggest works are War and Peace and Anna Karenina, but those are both quite large, so if you want to know a bit about his style i would suggest some of his shorter works. Of the shorter works I have read I really loved "The Death Of Ivan Ilyich", "Hadji Murad" and "Master And Man".
I also really like Jane Austen, you can't really go wrong with her. Her novels aren't that difficult either; they were the first novels in English (my second language) that I really enjoyed reading and they significantly improved my English.
