i'd suggest more modern classics, maybe some fitzgerald, cormac mccarthy, thomas pynchon. or modern but well known writers like paul auster.

i've been meaning to read jonathan franzen's new memoir, the discomfort zone. it should be easy to find and i've heard great things about it.

I wouldn't mind reading something like "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez or "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov.
