Cool! The Red Tent is one of my fav books of all time, also the Color Purple. I have The Road and Perfume on my list as well.

Brave New World is the one with mainstream acceptance, but Island is the one with the street cred. In my opinion, it's Huxley's best work, and that says a lot.

Bridget Jones Diary. WTF? HAHHAHA.

1984(Orwell)
The Brothers Karamazov(Dostoevsky)
The Invisible Man(Ellison)
Heart of Darkness(Conrad)
A Clockwork Orange(Burgess)
Stranger in a Strange Land (Heinlein)
Dune(Herbert)
Grapes of Wrath(Steinbeck)
A Confederacy of Dunces (Toole)
Catch 22(Heller)
All the Kings Men(Warren)
All Quiet on the Western Front(Remarque)
The Crying of Lot 49(Pynchon)
The Art of War(Tzu)
The Trial(Kafka)
The Divine Comedy Dante(Alighieri)
Les Miserables(Hugo)
Vertigo(Sebald)
Don Quixote(Cervantes)
Nausea(Sartre)

I just finished Outlander a few weeks ago. Excellent novel. The ending seemed to drag a bit though. I'm slowly making my way through the second book "Dragonfly in Amber".
