Anything by William Faulkner ... Although if you're new to him, try "As I Lay Dying."

No Faulkner book should be your first piece of literature, either.  I can imagine some guy never having read a book by Faulkner, and trying to read The Sound and The Fury, and his head exploding.

 

Someone said Ender's Game, what they really meant to say is this whole series (as well as the Ender's Shadow series).  Ender's Game is really just the prelude.
