Man, my favorites are so lame compared to your list.


Night - Elie Wiesel (Very short very good)
American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis
The Rules of Attraction - "      "
Watership Down - Richard Adams
Lord of the Rings - J.R.R Tolkien
House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski (Literally difficult to read as the print is all over the place)
Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Harry Potter - JK Rowling (Can't leave these off my list)

Pretty short list. I've read a ton of stuff, but most of it was crap, which is why they didn't make it onto my awesome mini-list here.
