A character who reminds me a bit of Holden is Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Crime and Punishment. He's also depressed and indecisive and we have to follow him around pretty closely too.
Regarding Lord of the Flies, I just read a story The Guardian about a real-life incident involving boys who were shipwrecked. Plot twist, they DIDN'T turn into cruel, murderous savages!
"The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months"

I struggled through War and Peace.
I struggled through Madame Bovary.
I did love Wuthering Heights and have read it multiple times. Perhaps because I really love Kate Bush's song .
