Thank you for all the suggestion so far! You're amazing.
To answer some questions:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I've already read The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath, The Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men, Animal Farm, The Jungle, and The Awakening
I have a week to read whatever I end up choosing, but I'm a fast reader as long as it pulls me in. And I'm open to reading anything :)

Well, if you made it through The Grapes of Wrath, you can probably handle One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

My vote is definitely for either 1984, Catch-22, or Brave New World (in that order). If you're anything like me, you'll blaze through 1984 -- I found it compelling and terrifying when I read it.

In that case? Beloved, Catch-22, or one of the Kurt Vonneguts.

I've read most of the books on the list, and I think they're all worth a read.

But the most shocking and deliberately "dirty" is gonna be Tropic of Cancer. LOL I'd read that one.

In that case, I'd go with Lolita. It's one of the most misunderstood books out there. But if you do choose to read it, read Poe's The Tell Tale Heart first. Nabokov "borrows" heavily from the story to set up the main character, Humbert Humbert in the first part of the book. Letting the reader know that like the character in the short story, Humbert is not to be trusted and is hiding something. (In this case, will be hiding something; Lolita.) It's set up that way because Humbert Humbert is one of those most unreliable narrators in all of fiction. He has a way of manipulating the reader into sympathizing with him. And for some people, they end blaming Dolores for Humbert Humbert's misery because of the way he twists the reader around.

It's a good book in that way. How if you are not careful, you can end up blaming the victim for the villain's sorrows.

I think everyone should read To Kill a Mockingbird at least once in their lives, and they should do it as early as possible. It's one of those books that can really inform your outlook on life if you read it growing up.

But my favorite from that list is probably Lolita. Beautiful language, and a good starter novel if you want to get into Nabokov (and you should).
