I keep thinking that many of the books that made the Gen X generation and Boomer’s reading list would have been lost today. Here are a few:
Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis
The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
Peyton Place by Grace Metaliious
Rage by Stephen King
Beloved by Toni Morrison
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
The World According to Garp by John Irving
Canticle For Lebowitz (and its sequel) by Walter M. Miller Jr.
Confederacy of Dunces. by John Kennedy Toole
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky Brothers
The Leopard by Giuseppe Lampedusa
The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolf
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
The Warriors by Sol Yurick
This is just a few of many others. I think I’m missing a few but what books do you think would make that list?
