Crime and Punishment- Fyodor Dostoevsky The Stranger- Marcel Camus Man in the High Castle- Philip K. Dick 100 Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez Heart of Darkness- James Conrad Invitation to a Beheading- Vladimir Nabokov ... i 'd include the likes of Borges and Kafka, but really, they're mostly short story writers... (and seeing as how i've not read Amerika, the Castle, of the Trial... i can't claim to have read any of Kafka's novels...) |

Something happened - Joseph Heller Hocus Pocus/Slaughterhouse 5/Cats Cradle/Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut Purfume - Some german guy (I forget the authors name, but the book is so amazing everybody should read it) Dune (series) - Frank Herbert Catcher in the Rye - JD Salenger (he also wrote another book about a brother and sister but I forget what it was called, but its better than catcher) The Rum Diaries/Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - H S Thompson Illuminatus Trillogy - Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea There are lots more. These ones just really stand out. |
