In no particular order,

  • Kurt Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle
  • Albert Camus, The Stranger
  • J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
  • David Foster Wallace, Brief Interviews With Hideous Men
  • Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
  • Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

I can't pick a single title for Camus or Vonnegut, but those two respective titles are near the top.

The unbearable lightness of being remains one of the best books I've ever read. Not related, but I think you might really enjoy Klara and the Sun, if you haven't read it already

I hadn't heard of that, but now it's on my list to read, thanks!
