Which classical book should I read?

I’m going into the seventh grade and for summer reading I have to read 1 classical book. I bought Alice in Wonderland, but I got bored of it. There aren’t many on the list, the only other books there are are The Iliad and the Odyssey, any Jane Austen book, The Illustrated Man, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Dracula. I tried reading Wuthering Heights but I didn’t understand it, so I think the Pride and Prejudice will be too hard to read. I’m not interested in the other books besides Dracula.
So should I read Dracula or maybe try to the Pride and Prejudice, and are they hard to read?

Dracula was exceptional and a fairly quick read. Just don’t expect it to be anything like the movie from the 90s. Because they’re nothing alike.

I’ve never read Pride and Prejudice.

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: First edition cover”Farmer Giles of Ham” is a Medieval fable written by J. R. R. Tolkien in 1937 and published in 1949. The story describes the encounters between Farmer Giles and a wily dragon named Chrysophylax, and how Giles manages to use these to rise from humble beginnings to rival the king of the land. It is cheerfully anachronistic and light-hearted, set in a fantasy Great Britain of long ago, with mythical creatures, medieval knights, and primitive firearms. It is only tangentially connected with the author’s Middle-earth legendarium : both were originally intended as essays in “English mythology”.The book was originally illustrated by Pauline Baynes . The story has appeared with other works by Tolkien in omnibus editions, including The Tolkien Reader and Tales from the Perilous Realm .Plot summary Farmer Giles (Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo , “Giles Bronze-beard Julius Farmer from Ham”) is not a hero. He is fat and red-bearded and enjoys a slow, comfortable life. But a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blunders on to his land, and Giles manages to ward him away with a blunderbuss shot in his general direction. The people of the village cheer: Farmer Giles has become a hero. His reputation spreads across the kingdom, and he is rewarded by the King with a sword named Caudimordax (“Tailbiter”) which turns out to be a powerful
