ten?
that's a lot...
ok, here's a few:
Erica Jong, Fear of 50.
Kate Chopin, The Awakening.
Charles Bukowski, Ham On Rye.
Louis Ferdinand Celine, Death on the Installment Plan.
Louis Ferdinand Celine, Journey to the End of the Night.
Jean Genet, The Thiefs Journal.
Marquis de Sade, Justine (or) The Misfortunes of Virtue
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita.
Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity
and, just for fun...
Alistair Crowley, Diary of a Drug Fiend.
those should re-arrange a few brain cells in the positive :)
BTW - Crowleys novel is nothing like what you'd expect,
the thing is a total gas.
EDIT: regarding the tremendous writings of Simone de Beauvoir,
probably best to hit "The Second Sex" in favor of the former,
if you choose to limit yourself to just one.

Before they die? Is that to exclude all those titles to be saved for the hereafter?

Now that I start thinking about it, it's a tougher question than I thought. I'll start with the following:
The Bible
Brothers Karamozov
The Iliad
The Divine Comedy
A good fifteen or so of Shakespeare's plays
Ulysses (though maybe you could squeak by with Portrait of the Artist)
Hmm, only six. Totally Euro-centric. You can go in lots of directions from there. Definitely need an Aristotle. The Republic (Plato) would be nice. I know there are some big things I'm forgetting but need to think about it more.
