I am reading some classics this year that I never got around to reading in school.
The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorn
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
As You Like It by William Shakespeare

And some more modern things.
Host by Stephenie Meyer (comes out may 6)
Rules by Cynthia Lord
The second book of The Tree Shepherd's Daughter: Into the Wildewoods by Gillian Summers (june 08)
And much more I'm sure.

I have already read Rules by Cynthia Lord. It was a really good book. I'm also awaiting the arrival of Host. Did you read the except on sm's website? It begins with the preface and then goes on to Chapter Four.

I have recently read the first two books in The Bard Acadamey Series. These books are "Wuthering High" and "The Scarlet Letterman". In this series all of the teachers at Bard Acamdemy (a high school for "troubled" teens) are famous literary characters. It is a really good series. Your list of "The Scarlet Letter" and "Wuthering Hights" are also on my reading list because they were mention somewhat in these books (as if you can't tell from the titles). Still, I have yet to read the original classics but I did like the Bard Academy books (even if they don't really have anything to do with the original works).
