I just read Arundhati Roy's "The god of small things" and I think it's fabulous (I guess you are from India, so maybe you read it, if not, you should). Than, Mihail Boulgakov - "Meister and Margarete" (Russian writer) and Selindger's "Catcher in the rye" - these two are classics. Steven Pressfield's - Gates of fire (history novel, if you are interested in way of thinking and living of spartan soldiers - I liked it very much. Dictionary of the Khazars - Milorad Pavic (Serbian writer), Orwell - "1984", Gabriel Garcia Marquez - "One hundred years of solitude", anything from Jorge Louis Borges, Umberto Eco, Salman Rushdie's "The ground beneath her feet"... It's all that I can remember right now. Hope you will find something that suits you. This is mix of books that I read recently and my books for all times. Enjoy reading!
