Cosmopolis by Don De Lillo and Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen.But in my 'to finish' pile are Gravity's Rainbow, Mein Kampf (yes, really) and Underworld.

Underworld...Persevere. It's De Lillo's best - or almost best because Libra is very good too. Cosmopolis isn't bad. Ratner's Star is shite. In my opinion.
Gravity's Rainbow takes a bit of application. Don't think you can read it on the bus, or whatever.
Pynchon's best - for me - is Mason and Dixon. DON'T attempt Against The Day. Well attempt it if you must but it's an utterly immense waste of time and effort. In my opinion.
