Quite a list! Bowie is such an inspiration - the consummate intellectual, artist, mystic, and entrepreneur. He's got it all. Two books that stood out to me:

The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes

The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels

reply
Nights At The Circus by Angela Carter

The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodieby Muriel Spark

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Herzog by Saul Bellow

Man, that's an interesting and eclectic mix. Would never have put Spark in with those other four, though I realize a lot of folks love her (and the movie was fantastic). But the other four books are four of the greatest of the 20th century.
