Animal Farm, by George Orwell (pub. 1945)
Babbitt, by Sinclair Lewis (pub. 1922)
A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole (pub. 1980)
God: The Ultimate Autobiography, by Jeremy Pascall (pub. 1987)
This is one of the few books I definitely remember wanting from the SFBC catalogs I used to get.
Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace (pub. 1996)
Terry Pratchett
I've read one of his Discworld books, "Moving Pictures," and I loved it. Ever since then (which was probably in the late 90s or so), I've been meaning to read the entire series.
What in God's Name, by Simon Rich (pub. 2012)
