I agree with Buttonz; both Night and Brave New World both deserved a mention. The Painted Bird has to be one of THE sickest books I've ever read, and I don't care if it's somewhat of a biography of Roman Polanski! I don't know if Dr. Zhivago could be included, as it was first written in Russian, but it would be a better contender than many of the above. I would've expected to see In Cold Blood, too.
