ToxicScarecrow:
Of the stuff that I've read recently I would recommend:

Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West and Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor.

And then of course Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. A classic in my mind but probably not on any school's reading list.

Johnny C:
Graham Greene - The Quiet American
Graham Greene - The Power And The Glory

There are other Greene novels you should read but those are my favourites.

Joseph:
John Kennedy Toole - A Confederacy Of Dunces
Ian McEwan - Amsterdam
John Updike - Rabbit, Run
Philip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
Frank Herbert - Dune
