Moby Dick and Huckleberry Finn are the two obvious choices. After that it's debatable. I'm inclined to vote for Grapes of Wrath personally, but there are plenty of other solid choices on this thread.

Picking Absalom over SATF is preftigious, but probably misguided.
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.
