Make sure to check out the free ebook collection on Amazon and what's available at http://www.gutenberg.org . You can get a lot of classics which are in the public domain. For example:

Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer
Dubliners, James Joyce. (All of Joyce's work is available, but it's probably not to everyone's liking)
Moby Dick, Herman Melville
Walden and On Civil Disobedience, Thoreau
The Republic, Plato
Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky
War of the Worlds, HG Wells
An assortment of Shakespeare, Keats, Poe, as well as Hemingway, Faulkner, Woolf and Fitzgerald as their works become public domain.

I'm realizing this could go on infinitesimally, but this should give an idea of what's available.

I didn't see it mentioned and, if it was, it bears repeating: Read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
