Book Recommendations Please!?

Hi, I'm trying to find books that are similar to some of my favorites. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!



Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov

Harry Potter! (surprise surprise :))

The Master and Margarita

by Mikhail Bulgakov

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell

Almost everything by Agatha Christie



As you can see most of these books are Russian classics. I'd like to find American books that are similar to that. I tried "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen and "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", but I didn't like neither that much.



I guess I really like things that are well-written, but they have to have an exciting story, otherwise I can barely force myself to read it.



Thanks in advance!
