Recent reads for posterity
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Beloved by Toni Morrison
A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
(Not to mention various historical books to do with Lenin and whatnot.)
Didn't think much of Beloved, loved A Room of One's Own and found Mrs Dalloway to be a valuable lesson in how to avoid becoming complacent mentally when reading the novel form in modern English.
There may have been a few others but I've lost track, frankly!
Edit: Thanks go out to
airlight for lending me her very pretty copy of A Room of One's Own!
