I really dig anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, especially One Hundred Years of Solitude. John Gardner's Grendel was pretty sweet. I like H.P. Lovecraft, but it's not exactly great writing. Milan Kundera is pretty frickin' awesome. Frank Herbert's Dune series is great for the first 4 books. I've liked everything I've read by Kurt Vonnegut, and most of Tom Robbins. Douglas Adams is pretty good. Nine Stories by Salinger has a coupla real gems. Hmm.. that's what I've got, off the top of my head.
