These books are extremely popular and mainstream. If this is what you like you could probably just go over the books on bestseller lists and get plenty of ideas.

There's a tone here that makes me think that you think stuff like Catch-22 and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is obscure, underground literature.

Okay, I have a few issues with this.
1) I was actually giving honest advice. I think looking through the amazon.com top 100 list would probably be a pretty good idea for this person because his tastes seem to coincide with a lot of other people. If he told me he really liked something weird or obscure I would have given other advice.
2) I don't think Catch 22 and Cuckoo's Nest are obscure or underground or something. They happen to be classics that a lot of people don't enjoy. For example, based on the OP's description of what he likes, I don't think he would enjoy them. The movie The Seven Samurai is neither obscure or underground, but I woudl not recommend it to someone who said "Recommend some movies for me, I really enjoyed Titanic and Old School but I don't enjoy movies that are slow paced".
