Woolf is a little cold and academic, but To the Lighthouse is quite good. I'd have to re-read it to offer anything more than that as it's been close to 15 years since I first experienced it.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Amsterdam - Ian McEwan - a wonderful book
Hunger - Knut Hamsun
Mysteries - Knut Hamsun
And every single novel written by Magnus Mills:
The Restraint of Beasts
All Quiet on the Orient Express
The Scheme for Full Employment
Three to See the King
Check him out, his writing is very refreshing yet disturbed.
I'll have to give this more thought, but at the moment my greatest novels of all time are
1. The Land of Laughs - Jonathan Carroll
2. The Stand - Stephen King (though I think Swan Song by Robert McCammon and Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank are right up there as far as end-of-the-world books)
3. Martin Eden - Jack London

Looking forward to my day in court.
Just about anything by Michael Chabon does the trick for me. For my money, he's the best writer working right now. Plus, he's a prog fan.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
George Saunders has a new collection of shorts coming out. For my money, he's the best writer working these days.
