I'd be betraying my username if I didn't suggest reading War and Peace ;)
The Brothers Karamazov is an excellent book, as is The Count of Monte Cristo. I was about to suggest Quicksilver, but if you didn't like Cryptonomicon, I'd hesitate.
I'm surprised that Dubliners made the list, but Finnegan's Wake didn't. I don't think anyone who owns a copy of FW has actually read it.
