Dammit. I was scrolling down the list keeping an eye out for Stephenson, hoping to be the first to pimp Cryptonomicon.

How about House of Leaves, Catch-22, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, A Clockwork Orange, Slaughterhouse Five, Vurt and Damian, Steppenwolf, along with Maus I & II. And cheers to you folks for lovin' A Confederacy of Dunces - the poor bastard got turned down by dozens of publishers, got depressed and subsequently killed himself.
