In terms of classics:

Dead Souls by Gogol is great as is Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.
I'd agree with the first comment to a degree, but you simply have to put the book in context. It was 'ahead of it's time' when it was written (arguably), and whilst it has been ripped off many times since, sometimes its nice to see where all of these rip off's originated.

To be fair it is a brilliant book.

What did you think of Crime and Punishment?

Oh and to Rids

Lastly, a book I forgot to mention, which I really enjoyed is Albert Camus - The Outsider. It's very short but I would highly recommend it purely as an existentialist literary classic.
