Hello,

I can't recall any book that I've personally read, but a quick search came up with:

Robert A. Heinlein - Time for the Stars,

Tony Vigorito - Just a Couple of Days

Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds.

You might want to have a closer look.

Not necessarily in strict order:

1984 - George Orwell

One flew over the cuckoo's nest - Ken Kesey

One hundred years of solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

War and peace - Leo Tolstoy

Le Grand Meaulnes - Alain Fournier

Jane Austen.
F.S. Fitzgerald.
Don DeLillo.

On the other hand, got through Moby Dick (ok), liked Catcher in the Rye (read it kind of old, I might have loved it earlier), Stephen King is ok (Misery very good).
