Show me the way

Hi /book/. I come to you with a big request. Long story short, i'm living in the middle of nowhere in eastern europe. Here, they don't teach classic universal literature books in schools, they only praise local writers. This being, i haven't had the chance to form a general opinion about universal literature. Writers that everyone should know, books that everyone should read, that's what i mean. But now i'm willing to fill in this gap in my culture, and i want to make myself a reading routine. So, what i want from you, /book/, is to recommend me "big" books, and writers that i should get into, considering i have read, probably, none of them by now. Also, keep in mind that i'm not a retard that won't understand a great book just because i haven't read much before. Literature just isn't my domain, i'm deep into others. I would like to mention that i might prefer postmodernist or existentialist books, even if i shouldn't start with those.

So, i started by reading Slaughterhouse five, Catcher in the Rye, East of Eden and Blindness, Great Gatsby and i'm going to read Catch-22, Atonement, 1984, Choke, and One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Help?

You'll love Catch 22 and One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest, if you know enough to select those books you're on the right track.
Personally, I'd recommend Post Office by Charles Bukowski.

Ignore 2. He has no idea what he's talking about. You'll want to drop Palahniuk; if you develop a taste for him then you are dumb. Basically, read everything on this list: http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/grtbloom.html That should keep you plenty busy. Enjoy!!

Thank you, i'll check it out.

Keep them coming, someone there will surely take into consideration your advice. You're not helping a dead imageboard, you're actually influencing a person.

Cool. You should love Post Office. It's not accepted as a "great literary work" by some, but I feel it does speak very honestly, which can be rare.
The only thing I didn't like about that book was that he occasionally shortened the word "though" to "tho".
I'm a pedant though.

Check out some other works by Orwell.  1984 is excellent, but he also wrote a lot of other fiction and non-fiction.  One of my personal favorites is Keep the Aspidistra Flying.

I love that book so much!

I would recommend anything by Tobias Wolff, particularly This Boy's Life and Old School. 

Also, John Irving is great.  Try out The World According to Garp.

If you haven't picked up any Truman Capote, you're missing out on someone really influential.  In Cold Blood is great, of course, but so are his short stories.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess is a pretty amazing read, but I'm not sure if it's really viewed as a big, important book. Still, it's one nobody should go without reading.

Any of John Steinbeck's works (especially The Grapes of Wrath). I see you've read East of Eden already, so it would be good to move on to some of his other works.

I'd also have to recommend Franz Kafka's short stories, because you can't go without them if you want classic postmodernist literature.

I love the Dune series by Frank Herbert.

Hesse is a good writer as well, check out steppenwulf and Siddhartha.
