I saw a tv programme about campus novels a few months ago, and I've since tried Malcolm Bradbury and Evelyn Waugh. Can't remember any others mentioned in the programme.

Perhaps the best English campus novels are by David Lodge (a good friend of Malcolm Bradbury). Very funny. Changing Places, Small World and Nice Work form a trilogy - well worth trying.

Fear of Flying was life changing when I read it. Also Streetcar named Desire, and The Great Gatsby. Jonathan Livingstone Seagull is a must for adults

I'd highly recommend both JD Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye' and Donna Tartt's 'The Secret History', both are considered classics.
