Yeah, John Kennedy Toole had a real tragic life. It's hard to believe that he was unable to get it published during his lifetime.
So, Confederacy of Dunces is a favorite...
Anything that Murakami's written, but notably Wind-up Bird Cronicle
The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov
The Stranger by Camus
No Exit by Satre
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
Dead Souls by Gogol
Fathers and Sons by Turgenev
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Kesey
Invisible Man by Ellison
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez
The Joke by Kundera
And to round things off, anything by Joyce (Portrait of the Artist especially) or Pynchon (V, cause it's much easier than Gravity's Rainbow).
