I have to say that I did not enjoy "The Scarlet Letter" when I read it many years ago. On the whole, I would rather read Hawthorne's short stories than his novels.

I'm currently reading this:

https://www.harpercollins.com/products/alexander-at-the-end-of-the-world-rachel-kousser?variant=41198672117794

It's a good work of popular history; I'm learning all sorts of stuff about Alexander of which I had hitherto been unaware, and it is also making me think more about Europe's relations with Asia.
