Steinbeck's Red Pony was excellent, read many years ago. Also read what was it, A Light in August by Faulkner? I stole books off my brother's and sister's bookshelves when I was probably a tad young to be ready some of them one of which included Kafka's The Fly; it haunted me for a long time after.

I have always loved and read Poe along with my other "scary" favourite, M.R. James.

Haven't done War & Peace, though my grandma said everyone should. There are a bunch of others, too. I don't know if I'll ever feel inclined.

One I am reading online, except that I hate reading online, so it is slow going is Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Samuel Clemens.
