*Beloved
*Cathedral (the Raymond Carver short stories one, not in the top 15, but on my list)
One Hundred Years of Solitude
*The Grapes of Wrath
Of Mice and Men
The Killer Angels
*The Things They Carried
The Old Man and the Sea
The Milagro Beanfield War
The House of the Spirits
A Prayer for Owen Meany
*All the Pretty Horses
*Lonesome Dove
Song of Soloman
A Confederacy of Dunces
