I love this so much, even though I have a high school classroom stacked with brand new "relateable" books. One suggestion to pair an old book (David Copperfield or Jane Eyre) with a related new book (Demon Copperhead or My Plain Jane). An easy start is to read the play Old Town and then read Ann Patchett's latest, Tom Lake.
Oh, you will LOVE it!
I was backwards - I had to stop reading Tom Lake until I could read Our Town.

I'm going to have to read Tom Lake now because Our Town changed my life!
