Salinger, J.D. - The Catcher in the Rye

Shakespeare, William - A Midsummer Night's Dream sadly enough, of these four, this is my favorite and the only one I haven't read. Though I'll admit that reading plays always seemed to be pointless to me. Unless the author was a hack, they were meant to be preformed, not read.

Wharton, Edith - The House of Mirth
Welty, Eudora - Collected Stories
Whitman, Walt - Leaves of Grass Most awful thing I've ever tried to read short of Also Sprach Zarastrua or Gone With the Wind (I got through the first 134 pages of GWtW, but I was more of a masochist in my youth.)
Wilde, Oscar - The Picture of Dorian Gray
Williams, Tennessee - The Glass Menagerie
Woolf, Virginia - To the Lighthouse
Wright, Richard - Native Son
