And, for honourable mention...

From Here To Eternity (James Jones)
Rabbit, Run (John Updike)
You Know Me, Al (Ring Lardner)

[PJ-Comix]

Invisible Man (Ralph Ellison)

I'm glad you mentioned that one. Before I read it I thought it would be one of those banal Toni Morrison types of work but when I read it I found it to be an incredible piece of literature. Plus there is a lot for conservatives there to like. Ellison had some great scenes in there showing what the communists were doing.
