For reference I owned:
House of Leaves, Infinite Jest, 1Q84, The Raw Shark Texts, The Crying of Lot 49, Slade House and 1984.
Books I want to read next:
The Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum, Gravity’s Rainbow, Solenoid
If on a winter’s night a traveler by Italo Calvino, Pale Fire by Nabokov

House of Leaves was so cool. I’m reading Gravity’s Rainbow right now and it’s confounding but magnetic.
Maybe a boring choice, but I recommend Crime and Punishment. Reading it now that I’m older, not as curriculum, was one of the most rich literary experiences of my life.
