You know, I don't believe the french exisitentialists have shown up here yet. The Creme de la creme vis pretention would be Sartre's "Nausea". I rather like Camus' "The Plague", and it is relatively short - like 250 pages. Any Camus or Kafka would do. "The Trial" is a very thin book, and most of the time has a super pretentious cover.

For patriotic pretentsion, John Locke's 2nd Treatise on Government is a good one.
