I just bought a Wooster book last week. Looking forward to reading it. I never watched the TV shows so I hope it will be good
 
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
Sons & Lovers - DH Lawrence
1984 - George Orwell
Scully - Alan Bleasdale
On The Beach - Neville Shute

Dunno if that's a diverse enough list in terms of different genres, perhaps the first 3 could be lumped together as 'classics' now, but it's very early and I'm not properly awake yet, so this is yer lot!
 
The Quiet American - Graham Greene
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The Plague - Albert Camus
The Trial - Franz Kafka
Germinal - Emile Zola
 
Brideshead Revisited: Evelyn Waugh
The Chrysalids: John Wyndham
Down and Out In Paris And London: George Orwell
The Magus: John Fowles
Chronicles: Bob Dylan

(and for anyone who was born in the 50s or early 60s and is interested in music, the recently published Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell is totally gripping.)
