A bit of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld was squeezed into the ‘90s, so that can join Harry Potter. Both series appear to have had bans in various places, so that’s got to add to their credibility.
Fight Club was published in the 90s. That book was responsible for getting a lot of people to read a novel who had previously not been interested in reading.
Interesting to see William Gibson on the 1980s list and Octavia Butler on the 1990s list. I wonder if Neal Stephenson will end up on more syllabi in the future or will be forgotten.
I noted that Watchmen was on the 1980s study list - I wonder if we'll see more graphic novels and manga.

Generation X by Douglas Coupland
"Hi, algorithm!". :p
Also, American Psycho deserves a mention.
Harry Potter is on the list. I wonder what other books might be in the category of gateways into reading at least one book.
Later completed in 2013 by Sanderson.
