my list of books!
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (i know i've read this before, but it was sooo long ago and i think it'd be a completely different experience this time around!)
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
How to Save Your Own Life by Erica Jong
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Bring Me Your Love by Charles Bukowski (a short story, but important nonetheless)
Love in the Time of Cholera by Garcia Marquez
Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (i've never read it and i should be whipped!)
The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
so that's 10, and it'll probably change, but this is a good place to start i think.
