Lots of good work never makes it anywhere near a Top 10.  Here's some you may have missed.  Not my favorites necessarily, but you don't need me to tell you about Moby Dick, right?  These are the sleepers, the also-rans, the cult classics, the overlooked that deserve better.

Many titles have a link to Amazon.com for quick purchase. If you use these links, Amazon will give me a cut, which, if you drop me a line, I'll be happy to pass on back to you via PayPal.
