Books That Deserve a Wider Audience

These works are seldom seen on challenges but their high average ratings on Goodreads suggest they should appeal to a lot of people. Many are the basis of classic movies. Several are the shortest novels written by well-known authors (Delillo, Woolf, Cormac McCarthy, Nabokov, Bolaño) and so might be a good way to sample their work.
