<p>Lolita is good. I just read Pnin by Nabokov, which isn’t really worth reading unless you love Nabokov, but if you do, check it out.</p>
<p>Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe (You already said it, but to reiterate, it’s amazing)
Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
The Death of Ivan Illyich -Leo Tolstoy
The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Dead Souls - Nikolai Gogol
The Overcoat - Nikolai Gogol
Sorrows of Young Werther - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Novella - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Scarlett Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne
De Bello Gallico - Julius Caesar (way better in Latin if you can translate)</p>
<p>There are a million more that I can’t think of. If I recommended an author twice, it means I love him and think everyone should read everything he ever wrote. If I could recommend any book I haven’t read, it’d be Pale Fire by Nabokov, and I’m not sure why.</p>
<p>Oh, and since someone else recommended Murakami, I back up the rec for The Wind Up Bird Chronicle (incredible, seriously). but I wasn’t personally that into Norwegian Wood. I had been reading a lot of Murakami that week though, so myabe I was just tired of him. But to me, all Murakami is good, including Norwegian Wood.</p>
