Here are a few suggestions from that list:
A Tale of Two Cities
Treasure Island
The Call of the Wild
Ivanhoe
Wuthering Heights
Tess of the d'Urbervilles
The first four are all sort of adventureish, with Treasure Island being the easiest read, then Call of the Wild, then the Dickens. Ivanhoe can be a little difficult to get into, but it's an awesome adventure set in the time of Robin Hood.
Wuthering Heights & Tess are more romance oriented, perhaps, and also possibly tough reads. Heights has a dark, gothic sort of feel to it, and Tess... well, Hardy's one of my faves.
Looking at the list, though, it would be hard to go too far wrong.
