The World According to Garp – John Irving

Incredible fiction about Garp from his birth to death through America on 1950's. Talk about feminism + procrastination like Revolutionnary Road.

Too lazy at the moment to read the whole list, but of the '2000s' section, I strongly recommend Kafka on the Shore. I've read Dead Air; I freakin' LOVE Iain Banks, but I'm not sure that deserves to be on there. Very long way from his best work.

I've half-read How the Dead Live; got interrupted by something else while reading it, and never went back. Must do some day.

Hmm, looks like I've only read about .001% of those. I better get cracking...

I'd recommend All Quiet on the Western Front if you're looking to be more of a peace advocate.

The Three Musketeers is just plain classic. Definitely worth a read.

Don't read To Kill a Mockingbird, unless you plan on going out and shooting yourself a mockingbird.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book, Atticus Finch is a revolutionary character.

My favorite book however is Catch-22, funny yet brutally honest; you'll never forget it. Also The Fountainhead is an interesting read on a new though process objectivism.

Hello mate
first this great collection of books, I read from it Hard Times for Charles Dickens and The Count of Monte Cristo for Alexandre Dumas, I will read King Solomon’s Mines for H.Rider and I recommend The Count of Monte Cristo for reading i read it more 20 times it great story

Anything by Truman Capote, without a doubt. And the obligatory Tolkien.
