Gaddis?
Frank Herbert?
Arthur Miller?
Emile Zola?
Henry James?
Woolf?
Camus?
Freud?
I don't think I'm qualified to make any claims of value about Gaddis' works, but from those that I've read, The Recognitions was my favorite.

I was writing your answer, then I saw Freud.
Sorry Anon, I can't do it anymore.

The Sun Also Rises stands over all of his other work. You could have at least gotten your own thread off to a proper start.

What'd you think of it? I actually just finished reading it this week, i found it a bit plodding in the first 1-2 chapters but from there on out it became better and better and -in retrospect- its actually a fantastically structured and made book.
Some great prose in a lot of spots too.

So is it really that good even though it wasn't finished? People always saw DFW really shined in short fiction or non-fiction but hardly talk about any of his full length books besides IJ.
Also this, though it might not be saying too much

The notes Wallace left behind allow us to understand the direction he was taking the novel and the themes surrounding it. It's also largely autobiographical and recollection of his youth.
