Huh.  What did you like about this?

Bulgakov, Master and Margarita
Grass, Tin Drum
Hemmingway, Farewell to Arms
Lem, Cyberiad
Kundera, The Joke
Orwell, 1984 (better for observations of language and thought than the
surveillance everybody alludes to)
O'Brian, Third Policeman

Lots of alienation in all that. Mmm.
