Pardon me if I intrude with three modern novels that I consider pertinent to our times, all by Umberto Eco: "The Name of the Rose," "Foucault's Pendulum," and "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loanna." Pardon me if I say that Eco's other novels to date are not worth your time.
Added later: Redhotgermangrl's "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler (below) is not a novel, but I urge you to read it. (Maybe she knows something I dont about novels.)
