Where is David Lodge, especially CHANGING PLACES and SMALL WORLD? I agree with George about LUCKY JIM.

Dorothy L. Sayers, GAUDY NIGHT
Also mysteries by Colin Dexter, Edmund Crispin, Amanda Cross
Muriel Spark, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE
No love for Harry Potter?
Tom Perrotta, ELECTION
Pat Conroy, THE WATER IS WIDE and THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE

WONDER BOYS is probably my favorite on this list.
