new to lit

current books read:

vonnegut - cat's cradle
charles bukowski - ham on rye
charles bukowski - ordinary tales of madness

shopping for new books, my current list:

charles bukowski - post office
charles bukowski - women
charles bukowski - factotum
charles bukowski - pulp
william golding - lord of the flies
f scott fitzgerald - the great gatsby

i obviously like bukowski quite a lot, but can you recommend me 2-3 more books that isn't awfully hard to read? english is my second language and i'm not on that level to be reading high level lit

Kafka's a good author, but be wary not to let his works get you down.

The Metamorphosis, if you like it, then the Trial, and if you like that then just read anything else by him.
