1. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. I've already pimped it out on my LJ in vague terms, but just... gah. It is so fantastic.
2. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's about SATAN! It's also probably the most hilarious and entertaining Russian Literature you're ever likely to find.
3. Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. If you've never read Dostoevsky before, it's a good start, because it's short. The narrator is also hilariously unreliable and, you know, just plain nuts.
4. The Immortals quartet by Tamora Pierce. That is my favorite series of hers... I still read it. It's probably my number one literary guilty pleasure. But come on! Daine can talk to animals! And turn into them! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!
5. Watership Down by Richard Adams. An epic about bunnies. Also probably my favorite book on the planet. I've read it at least half a dozen times, and if you locked me up and only gave me this to read for a year, I'd be totally okay with that. EPIC!
