I can remember a bunch of others like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adam, American Tabloid by James Elroy, Sexus by Henri Miller, Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell... But to be fair, I read those a long time ago and I'm not sure I remember them correctly. Same goes for a lot of French novels, explaining why this list is pretty American centred.
