- "The Great Gatsby" Whether or not it truly is his "best" novel, there’s a reason F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" remains his most popular work today and a reason it's so frequently adapted and cribbed from.
- "Ulysses" When people make lists of the most difficult novels, "Ulysses" is almost certainly on them. Considered pornographic when originally published (James Joyce regarded the biological functions of the human body as inspiration, instead of things to be hidden and obscured) the novel is a thrillingly complex braid of themes, allusions, and jokes — jokes that are often ribald and scatological, once you see them.
