Re-reading from Chapter 18, Dante. 

Dante's Inferno (the game gave me quite a bit of information)
The Magic Mountain
Schweik
Kafka - done
Joseph K
Faulkner
Ulysses- tried; Latin got in the way. 
30 Rock - seen some; it's good. 
Gustav Aschenbach - Death in Venice - Mann
The ubiquitous Indian restaurant
Saroyan
Camus - lots to go. 
Bible, Freud - usual suspects
King Lear

Chapter 19

Chapter 20
The chaplain's plight, brilliantly described, and I opine that Mr Heller was a very verbose writer, with an almost stream-of-consciousness style, and had a very expansive vocabulary.
