For short stories: Distant Star by Roberto Bolaño, he makes all his stories feel like an adventure, they stretch decades and lifetimes.
Cathedral by Raymond Carver, really highlights the sadness and absurdity of regular life with characteristically dry and comic style.
Short Novels:
I've recommended Kokoro by SĹŤseki on here before, but it's really great.
Clock Without Hands by Carson McCullers is a great novel. Some really good Southern gothic.

heart berries by terese marie malhot- uniquely told memoir about the life of an indigenous canadian woman
a room of one's own by virgina woolf- classic, brilliant feminist text
