Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy
Lolita - Nabakov
In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
Crime & Punishment - Dostoevsky
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera
Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein

This is a nice start....also, I'd start reading some more popular, "easier to read" authors like Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, William Gibson, etc. While some might not considered them "high literature," they are often great books and a lot of fun to read.
