Here's an idea! Before reading each book google the title of the book. Read websites about the evolution of the book and the symbolism of the characters and events. None of these novels are surface level. They all have much deeper meanings and symbolism. Then while reading the book search for the deeper meaning. You will start seeing everything in a new light that is often way more interesting than the basic plot summary. Most students your age probably haven't researched that far which will really impress your teachers if you discuss the book in class. I know that reading novels in college was wayyyyy more interesting than in high school because in college it isn't about little details but more about the "big picture".
