wanting to get into classics!

I absolutely love reading and one of my goals this year has been to expand in the genres I read! I really want to get into classics, but I’m not sure where I should start. I’ve read of mice and men, 1984 (not sure if thats considered a classic? I think so?), lotf, and excerpts of Dracula. I’ve only ever read these books for school because in high school i normally stuck to fantasy/romance, but I have recently gotten more into nonfiction, theology, contemporary fiction, etc. Anyways I would appreciate any advice or opinions! I’ve heard great things about East of Eden, but not sure if I should read a few other before getting into that. For reference of my reading level I am a college sophomore. Sorry for rambling! :)
