All time high school great besides Catcher In The Rye. But let's not go there.
The Postman
The Alchemist (novella I suppose)
Gary Paulson books are sweet
The House of The Scorpion
Anything from John Grisham or Michael Crichton

Pretty much a story of a German soldier during WWII. He finds romance, etc. Don't want to ruin the plot too much but it is very much along the line of Remarque's other works.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll read it once I'm done with the wealth of nations (which I might vote to be on this list... only a few hundred pages from the end)

Depending on how you get your books (I use the public library) it may be a bit difficult to find, I had to request it from another library system. Still worth the read.

None. I don't think there's any literature that's an absolute necessity for all people.
For great under-sung writing:
Georges Simenon's noir - Dirty Snow, et al.
Tim O'Brien's Vietnam novels and stories (particularly The Things They Carried)
Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me (how they made it into a film, I don't know)
