One of my personal favorites is 1984. Currently reading the book that (supposedly) inspired Orwell, We, by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin,

getting into subjective favorites: 100 Years of Solitude, Sometimes a Great Notion, Absalom Absalom, Siddhartha.
I had a couple friends in gradschool who were ape#### over Pale Fire... I bought it, and never read it. I'm sure I could figure out the FFA fans if I had any reasoning ability. or memory.

I don't read too many classics but East of Eden is probably my favorite. Long but just terrific writing.
Dostoevsky is someone I've been wanting to read more but his stuff is kind of hard to get through. Fascinating but just not easy reading. Notes from Underground is his only work I've managed to get through and it was great
