I have or had a 1988, award winning, copy of Beloved. I remember my step-mom taking me to the store to buy it after one of my English teachers suggested it. I tried reading it numerous times but just could not do it. I didn't get very far during any of my attempts, as the book just scared the bejeesus out of me.

I'm going to use my third nomination to nominate:
The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth (1986). The great Californian novel about Yuppies in the bay area written entirely in verse. I doubt it's going to make it to voting, but it's one of my favourite books of all time. This is not available in e-book format. I wish it were. Amazon's Writeup |
