Ditto with Master and Margarita, and with Traven's Death Ship, plus his The Treasure of the Sierra Madre; all are fantastic.

Virtually everything by Dostoevsky, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Nietzsche, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Stendahl, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Maupassant, Bukowski, and Michel Houellebecq

Books I've picked up recently from this group:

The book of Monelle

ditto Potocki and add Gustav Meyrink, Leo Perutz, ETA Hoffmann and Lafcadio Hearn
