I second anything by Robert Louis Stevenson (especially his short stories) and Trollope!!! Trollope is so much more readable than Dickens in my opinion

I second the Decameron. I was tempted to put Canterbury Tales in translation on my list. You wouldn’t think how amazingly entertaining medieval stories can be!
