Any books you think I should add to the list?

Question

Every year my mother asks me to compile a list of things I would like. She doesn't get me everything on my list, obviously, but it's so she doesn't end up getting me something I don't like or would never use. I ask her to make the same list. Here's my list of books for her to choose from:

1. Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung: The Work of a Legendary Critic: Rock'N'Roll as Literature and Literature as Rock 'N'Roll - Lester Bangs
2. The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream - Barack Obama
3. The Consolation of Philosophy: Revised Edition - Ancius Boethius
4. The Sorrows of Young Werther - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
5. The Whorehouse - F. N. Wright
6. What is Man? - Mark Twain
7. Wish You Were Here - Tom Holt
8. News from Nowhere and Other Writings - William Morris
9. Bound for Glory - Woody Guthrie
10. Hell Bent for Leather: Confessions of a Heavy Metal Addict - Seb Hunter
11. The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom - Jonathan Haidt
12. Rimbaud Complete - Arthur Rimbaud
13. Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for None and All - Friedrich Nietzsche
14. Stories of Anton Chekhov - Anton Chekhov
15. The 42nd Parallel - John Dos Passos
16. Nightmares and Dreamscapes - Stephen King
17. Naked and the Dead - Norman Mailer

There are several others on my to get list, but I'll stop there. I'm always up for suggestions, so based on the list above what are some others you think I might like? I'm pretty much into a little bit of everything, aside from cheesy romance novels...though, I've been known to pick up one of those every now and then as well.

Thanks for the answers!
