While we are at it, what would you, dear friends, recommend me to read? A short (ten to hundred titles) list of
books by missing which I'll miss the essence of the English-speaking culture. I'm probably familiar with classic, (Shakespeare,
Dickens? ) but mostly in translations. Which classical books I must reread in original to get? Are there any new titles worth reading? I think the most recent fiction I read was Harry Potter. Random novels from bestseller lists didn't quite capture my attention.

no subject
not classic but good
also an american classic
is Native Son by Richard Write
the only thing is that I read it when i was 18
and it made quite an impression on me
not sure how it reads now
also try Jonathan Franzen Corrections (I am not a big fan but most people say its GREAT american literature)
