Novel Recommendation

Dear Friends
Kind Regards

Despite my parents best efforts to deprive me of literary work over the years i do not have much experience with 'novels'.I would like you to help me compile a list of novels/novella for me to consume into my knowledge.

Please do not list any books i have already read, these include:
Lord of the Flies,1984,Frankenstein,Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide,One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,A Clockwork Orange,Animal Farm,Ulysses,Atlas Shrugged,Heart of Darkness,Slaughterhouse Five,Catch-22,Brave New World,Fahrenheit 451,Ham on Rye,Catcher on The Rye and The Great Gatsby

Any recommendations will be appreciated.(except Harry Potter and LOTR)

Yours Thankfully

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. Finished it earlier today after reading the last 100 pages through the night with only the dim illumination cast by my mp3 player to to see the words. Yes, that's how good it is and how sad I am.

Synopsis:

Set before and during the great war, "Birdsong" captures the drama of that era on both a national and a personal scale. It is the story of Stephen, a young Englishman, who arrives in Amiens in 1910. His life goes through a series of traumatic experiences, from the clandestine love affair that tears apart the family with whom he lives, to the unprecedented experiences of the war itself.

Don't let the underlying love story put you off. Still one of the Best War novels there is. Read it because of my upcoming A-Level English Literature World War One Literary Works module, and actually enjoyed it. I like Historical Fiction novels anyway.

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn,Sword of Truth Series

The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger.
The Grapes of Wrath/Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck.
The Rigante/Troy series by David Gemmell.
