The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende (pub. 1982, Chile; English translation 1985)

Pedro Páramo, by Juan Rulfo (pub. 1955)

The Satanic Verses, by Salman Rushdie (pub. 1988)
Rushdie may have written other things that would interest me, but I've long been interested in reading this, mainly to see what all the fuss (and the fatwa) is about.
