instead of touches of fantasy, i find his novels to be rather dreamlike and surreal.

I just read The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, and i have to say, it was amazing. It was the best thing i've read since The Idiot. Is Haruki Murakami's other stuff worth reading?

Not girly at all, a real classic in my opinion. It really does show Ms. Plath's descent towards depression and insanity. Expect a very very depressing salinger-esque novel.

Child Of God by Cormac McCarthy. Nothing says happy birthday dad like necrophiliac serial rapists and killers.

Alright, i suppose that makes sense. Doesn't joyce use a rather primitive stream-of-consciousness approach while writing? It could just be a highly realistic representation of the muddled modern mind.

I feel the exact same way as you OP. Go with some utopian/dystopian lit. Brave new World and 1984 are good places to start. Heres an unfinished essential.
