Man, my favorites are so lame compared to your list. :/

Night - Elie Wiesel (Very short very good)

American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis

The Rules of Attraction - " "

Watership Down - Richard Adams

Lord of the Rings - J.R.R Tolkien

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski (Literally difficult to read as the print is all over the place)

Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

Harry Potter - JK Rowling (Can't leave these off my list) :D

Pretty short list. I've read a ton of stuff, but most of it was crap, which is why they didn't make it onto my awesome mini-list here.
