A whole range of classics from the 19th century, including North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. Even though it wasn't ever mentioned. Oh and The Painting of Dorian Gray. That was an odd book, almost nightmare worthy.
Jane Eyre. A bunch of other things at roughly the same time.
Otherwise, not too much really. JFf does not really deal with the fantasy and SF genres which is what I mostly read. Aside from coursework.

I'd forgotten about stig. I had read "Cold Comfort" before TN, I keep meaning to start reading, or at least buy Dorian Gray. I may get there one day once I work through the reading backlog.
The Trial was one. So were attempts at some of the other ones (Jane Eyre, Mill on the Floss) but I tended to get sidetracked somehow while reading those....
