I noticed Don Quixote was ranked in the high twenties. I never knew the impact that book had until I saw that my university has a semester class just on that book. I find myself reading dystopian novels more than anything, but it's fun to dip into the classics once in a while
Got any recommendations?

I don't really have any complaints about this list, but I would include:

The Castle - Franz Kafka

American Tabloid - James Ellroy

The Inheritors - William Golding

American Pastoral - Philip Roth

The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler
