Everyones said really good stuff...esp. gatsby (which I knew you read already.. heh) and the Bell jar...
sadly as I am wee bit late I see youve bought books already...
I would have suggested either of the two novels by Flannery O'Connor or Dhalgren (if you like scifi XD) by Samuel r. Delaney.. hehehe.
Enjoy Brave New World... had to read that for entrancew into my new school argh.
But if you do get around to it DO read some Flannery O'Connor, I'm absolutely in love with her Southern Gothic style...and her general focus on the decay of the south and the "Damned people that live ther" as one critic put it. Her use of religion is superb and...oh crapim rambling XD
