just discovered this great thread! Lots of new titles for me to put on my wish list.. and lots of old favourites.
one that hasnt been mentioned yet i believe is A Catcher in the Rye by Salinger. I have read Salinger's other novels, but none have made such a strong impression on me as Catcher did.
Short stories by Julio Cortazar (Argentinian author).
And, since i am of a russian background, it is of course Master and Margarita by Bulgakov and all stories by Nabokov. I would be very interested to know if anyone of a non-russian background have read those and what they thought..
