1st Year English Literature Books

I just finished my first year at university and these are the novels/plays/short stories that we were required to read. There were more poems/essays/short stories in our module readers but I thought these ones in the list were more important and relevant. To be honest, I haven't read them all but hopefully I'll do better in my second year :)
