I may be missing some very subtle and sophistocated humour on the part of Ganga here.

I rate Auster too, Belhaven. I've read quite a few of his novels, NYTrilogy and Moon Palace being my favourites, but I kind of gave up on him after the one where the narrator is a dog.
Ale, do you really rate Good as Gold, which I must say is really quite good, as Heller's best novel?
My spectacularly unoriginal top 5:
Hasek - The Good Soldier Sveijk Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse 5 Orwell - 1984 Hamsun - The Growth of the Soil Bukowski - Women
Very honourable mentions and pats on the back for Catch 22 and Don Quixote.

Otto, I actually loved Timbuktu (the Auster novel, where the narrator is a dog), which ironically I read while in Norway - it was one of the few books my hosts had in English. But it's the only book of his I've read, so I can't compare it to his other work.

Ooh tricky, if you mean five novels that more than just say liking an awful lot, I think illuminate or say something that isn't said anywhere else, then it'd probably have to be these five.
Nana by Emile Zola Bleak House by Charles Dickens The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad The Joke by Milan Kundera Straight Is The Gate by Andre Gide
It'll probably change in the next five minutes, mind you.

I didn't realise there was a Neon Genesis Evangelion comic. How does it compare to the telly series?
