What about Chester Himes? If He Hollers Let Him Go is one of the finest novels ever written. Didn't see any DeLillo anywhere really (help me, Gardner!). I'll give three or four cents: 1) White Noise 2) If He Hollers... 3) All Pynchon's shit 4) Day of the Locust 5) Neuromancer 6) MacBeth 7) Lolita 8) Lord of the Rings Trilogy 9) Left Hand of Darkness 10) Crash MantaRay
