I can't remember what I read throughout the year, but since the end of the summer:
J. D. Salinger - Catcher in the Rye
Joan Didion - Play It As It Lays
Zora Neale Hurston - Their Eyes Were watching God
William Faulkner - As I Lay Dying
Anita Loos - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Thomas Pynchon - The Crying of Lot 49
Philip Roth - Goodbye Colombus
James Baldwin - Go Tell It on the Mountain
Mark Twain - Huckleberry Finn
Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar
Kate Chopin - The Awakening
Don DeLillo - White Noise
Dostoevsky - The Gambler
Maybe a couple more. Also a shitload of poetry, but I'm not sure I actually read any entire collections. But a lot by Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Wallace Stevens, Eliot, Pound, and Rimbaud.
Before that--probably this year, but I'm not sure:
Mark Danielewski - House of Leaves
William Gibson - Count Zero
Douglas Coupland - JPod
Gregory Riley - The River of God
Mike Caro - Poker Tells
Phil Hellmuth - Texas Hold'em something or other
Steven King - It (only half, cause it was shit)
And the ongoing project of Ulysses, which has taken over a year and is still not finished.
