I've read and really enjoyed Naked lunch. Also, Moby Dick, Pet Sematary, a lot of Delanys stuff but not Dhalgren [I have it but haven't tackled it yet. May be next.] The Silmarillion was very difficult [seemed to go nowhere] Canterbury tales was at the time indecipherable for me and Sophies Choice. Don't know why The Iliad and The Odyssey was left out but those as well. Ever read any Norse mythology? About the same level. I used to read it in the libray in high school during study hall.
