What are some books for smart, sophisticated people such as myself?

Coming from that direction?
Start with Maus,
then read Mark Twains Short stories,
then through George Orwells 1984,
Albert Camus' the Stranger,
on to Thus spake Zarathustra by Nietzsche,
and finish with anything by Theodor Adorno.

If you want to go super hard you could go to Heidegger or Hegel.

This strikes me as weird, but having come of age in the '90's and not the '00's I'll say nothing against it.
I will say that after Nietzsche Adorno's Minima should be broached for two reasons- a. it's Nietzsche-esque in form, yet b. with an orientation (moderately ethical) foreign to Nietzsche.
Then on to Hegel's very clear Lectures on the History of Philosophy (as a way of 'starting with the greeks,' or in lieu of) before tackling the Phenomenology.
Why am I laughing?

Yeah, it's perhaps bad advice. I'm chastened.
