Might go with Forster too; have only read ye olde H.T. Porter-Lowe's beefy British translation of TMM, though I have a much more recent one somewhere. Those are the only two I've read.

I remember the book being a lot more experimental than the Fassbinder tv show, which is mostly in a conventional social realist mold (until that last episode, lol).
The Boy In The Bush by D.H. Lawrence is a weird one--it's actually by an Australian writer who sent her manuscript to Lawrence and instead of just editing he basically rewrote most of it.
