In fact screw their list, I am doing my own.
1. Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

3. Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison
4. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
6. A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
7. Native Son - Richard Wright (although the last third of the book is damn near intolerable)
8. The Stranger - Albert Camus
9. Slaughterhouse 5 - Vonnegut
10. Moneyball: the Art of Winning an Unfair Game - Michael Lewis (damnit I refuse to have a list and leave off the best baseball book of all time)
