As an avid reader (50-100 books a year) I agree with many of your choices. A great list indeed. If I only had to recommend just one book for you to read though it would be A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. This book has “stayed” with me even years after I finished reading it. I cannot put into words just how deeply moving the impact of this story is. Please, please read it.
