I guess the titles more likely to interest me on the list I've already read, but while you're in the vein between Calvino and Carroll (wide ground, I know!), you might want to give a try to Boris Vian one day. He remains way too little known by anglosaxons (despite the heavy influence of Carroll and Swift on his writing, and despite he was a huge americanophile)

Better read with some Duke Ellington in the background, for the proper mood.

He's got his revenge though. Unlike most of his "stuffy" contemporaries that got long forgotten, he's still widely read today (he's more read than Sartre's novels, even), many writers claim him as a major influence, covers of his songs are still recorded, his plays are still mounted on stage at home and abroad (especially his anti-war ones recently), he's become one of the most popular French writers post-1990 in eastern Europe (a phenomenon the Vian scholars are still a bit puzzled over) and though he's attracted scholarly attention and enthusiasm long ago now he's "made the big leagues" with the literary establishement by being this year's new entry in La Pléiade (right on Camus's heels). I went in to buy the Borges (now back in print) but just couldn't resist postponing that purchase when I saw Vian had made La Pléiade.
