I'd add "Sometimes a Great Notion", by Ken Kesey

and pretty much any volume of Encyclopedia Brown. That kid can solve anything.

Ok, so I've decided my literary education is somewhat lacking and would like to know this group's recommendations for the "10 Best Literary Works" I should read. They have to be works of fiction and available in English and not just say of 2009 but of all time. Google searches tend to list the best of a year or be listed by one particular publisher. This is a good group to poll since you all (most) have at least some kind of scientific/technical bent. So I know the suggestions will be good ones for me!

Once I have a list of all suggestions maybe I'll ask you all to vote on them.

My list currently starts with Frank's recommendation today:

"Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West" by Cormac McCarthy

Thanks!
