The Decameron
Guy de Maupassant's short stories
More modern: The Good Soldier Schweik / Three Man in a Boat
And I'm from Poland so Trilogy by H. Sienkiewicz (think The Three Musketeers but much better)

Check 2 holy triplets:
Growing out of age: It/Summer of Night/Boy's Life
Post apo: Stand/Swan Song/Dark Advent
It's interesting to see different great writers using similiar themes.
​
BTW Simmons best novel is of course "Carrion comfort"...

If you enjoyed Decameron check autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini. XVI century Italy, art, murders (Cellini was quite hot tempered) and romances with both man and woman (homosexual ones of course only hinted). Fascinating book.
