+1 for that.

H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds would be on my list.
If 1936 is old enough to be classic, then We The Living by Ayn Rand.
If the '50s, then The Mystic Masseur by V.S. Naipaul.

H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds

Yes, great book!
"A little learning is a dangerous thing..." - Alexander Pope


“Believe to the end, even if all men went astray and you were left the only one faithful; bring your offering even then and praise God in your loneliness.”

“For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it.”

“Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.”

“There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant!”
- Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
