Now that the LOTR has been so thoroughly discussed (& will continue to do so), what other books are there out there from other authors which can genuinely offer similar stimulation for imagination & debate? This is a harder question to answer than most, as the LOTR is already widely regarded as the greatest piece of literature of all time. Why do not other books come close to it for class?

I would particularly like to hear of novel suggestions on intellectually demanding novels from respected authors.
