If you want to read contemporary fiction please don’t read YA. It’s a waste of time. Read picrel instead

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an obvious choice I think.
Sentimental Education by Flaubert is another good one.
Zorba the Greek is excellent in my opinion.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn straddles the margin I think. It’s up to you if you count it.
I’d say Moby Dick as well.
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
The Bell Jar
Tom Sawyer
Picrel is contemporary, released recently. Irish.

Melville House is alright I think. Urbanomic is good, mostly philosophy though.

I don’t think you’ve ever read anything by Tao Lin, I’ll be honest. But of course, nobody here reads, so why should I expect people to know contemporary literature.
