As someone w/ a degree in Eng. Lit & Philosophy, as well as being a looper--I'm thrilled to hear this question and see all the wonderful suggestions. I think two of the greatest Amercian novels written were missed ( actually, my TOP 2 Am. novels) Gravity's Rainbow --Thomas Pynchon. My theory is, and let me tell you! This book generates many theories!--Is Pynchon wrote a "musical" novel. People are breaking into songs all over the place. Plus, he moves in and out of dreamstates, paranoid delusions, fantasies, etc. without much warning. Similar to my #2 choice: The Sound & The Fury --William Faulkner. Figuring out the 'nature' of the narrator in the first story alone is worth the prize!
