There are some great picks here; Kerouac, Hemingway, Joyce, Dostoevsky...
My Additions
Charles Bukowski - The Days Run Away like Wild Horses Over The Hills
Don Dellilo - White Noise
William S Burroughs - Junky
Jack Kerouac - Bug Sur
And any poetry collections by TS Eliot, Ezra Pound, Sylvia Plath, William Blake, Pablo Neruda
I don't know if everyone should read them but they're pretty good.
