Mine are not particularly controversial picks:
1. Huckleberry Finn
2. Moby Dick
3. The Sound and the Fury |

Other than Faulkner, I'd say Moby Dick and Huck Finn, like everyone else in this thread. The more interesting question is what 20th century novels make these kinds of lists in 50 years, when Huck Finn and possibly Faulkner fall out of favor when the 19th century South has less of a hold on the American literary imagination. I'd guess that Grapes of Wrath takes its rightful place as an all-time American classic. Wouldn't be surprised to see something by McCarthy (probably The Road or Blood Meridian) see more mentions on these lists. I think Pynchon has had his moment already but who knows.
Also, haters gonna hate, but Beloved probably deserves some mention ITT. |

i consider faulkner to be pretentious joyce-like garbage. the great gatsby is nothing special. moby dick is so amazingly awful i couldn't get through more than half of it. novels in general suck. |

Date: September 10th, 2013 7:40 AM Author: wine plaza lettuce Very credited, though I would submit that there's nothing like the experience of reading a truly great novel (however rare they may be, especially in the post-modern age). Gatsby may be overrated by people who haven't read anything else, but even being fairly well read, I can't name many books that live up to the hype as Gatsby does. No matter the backlash against Fitzgerald, his depictions of the futility yet necessity of striving are perfect. If it was good enough for Hunter Thompson to copy, it's good enough for me.
