"Something from the last twenty years, clear prose, highly regarded, perhaps a famous author's most famous book."
Yeah, I agree. Something like White Noise, maybe, though I'd bet that 90% of the people in this group have already read that one.

my vote goes to "Lenz"

seriously ben read that article and check out lenz.

ok, me.
I also haven't read any Roth, so I'd be down with that.
I already own Portnoy's Complaint and The Plot Against America.

Unless this falls completely flat, I'll put up the following five for a vote in a new thread.
Alvaro Mutis: The Adventures and Misadventures of Maqroll
William Gerhardie: Futility
Richard Flanagan: Gould's Book of Fish
Eduardo Galeano: Soccer in Sun and Shadow
Leo Perutz: Master of the Day of Judgment
Obviously, these are all in my 'currently reading' or 'To-read' shelves.
After people vote (in the new thread, not this one), I'll add the book to the Hipinion group bookshelf.
Anyone have any ideas?
