All of these books have some kind of a magical realism, or post-modernism element. So if you're not into it I would skip over this list. 1) As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner 2) The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien 3) The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy 4) The Moor's Last Sigh by Salman Rushdie 5) One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
