Between the Acts (Oxford World's Classics)
3.  Between the Acts (Oxford World's Classics) by Virginia Woolf

Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts
5.  Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts by Samuel Beckett

Blue of Noon
6.  Blue of Noon by Georges Bataille
The list author says:
  "A morbid genius of nihilistic and surreal erotica / pornography. This book has so many important images and contexts that to ignore it is to close to tomb on liberation."

The Theban Plays (Classics)
7.  The Theban Plays (Classics) by Sophocles
The list author says:
  "These plays stand as models - their influence on philosophy, psychoanalysis and the theatre are immense. The Antigone is sublime and profoundly moving, the Oedipus still holds its daemonic power."

English Romantic Verse (Poets)
8.  English Romantic Verse (Poets) by David Wright

Great Expectations (Oxford World's Classics)
11.  Great Expectations (Oxford World's Classics) by Charles Dickens
The list author says:
  "A phenomenal story-teller and novelist, creating characters as prolifically as Shakespeare - read much of him but start with this or Hard Times. You'll be able to forget nothing of their imagery."

Labyrinths: Selected Stories and Other Writings (Penguin Modern Classics)
12.  Labyrinths: Selected Stories and Other Writings (Penguin Modern Classics) by Jorge Luis Borges
The list author says:
  "I dabbled with Kafka but ultimately decided that although he's more powerful, to read Borges in conjunction with Robert Browning leaves any reader fearfully exhausted."

Selected Poetry (Oxford World's Classics)
13.  Selected Poetry (Oxford World's Classics) by John Donne

The Turn of the Screw (Penguin Popular Classics)
14.  The Turn of the Screw (Penguin Popular Classics) by Henry James

Selected Poems and Letters (Penguin Classics)
15.  Selected Poems and Letters (Penguin Classics) by Arthur Rimbaud
