   I can absolutely vouch for Dorian Gray and Lolita. The Human Stain by Philip Roth is amazing, and so is Gilead by Marilynne Robinson (it’s a slow start, but truly worthwhile if you stick with it.)

   Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie%27s_World

   it is a great intro to philosophy, and written as a novelization about a girl called Sophie who is learning about Philosophy.
