Classic Books?

Prompted by yesterday's Entertainment Weekly movie meme, I went to the EW site to see if there were any other interesting lists over there. I quickly went to the list of The New Classics: Books ("The 100 best reads from 1983 to 2008") and, well, I'm embarrassed to say that I've read even fewer of the books on this list than I've watched movies on that other list. I'm not even going to bother listing & bolding anything here; I simply want to ask which books on the list you folks out there would actually recommend. So, what are your suggestions?
