Books That JW Enjoyed Reading (Pre-1990 Edition)

An eclectic list of novels, novellas, short stories, and plays that I enjoyed reading in some fashion (yes, even Ulysses!). I read some of these books after I saw them on your lists so I hope to return the favor.
Note: "Go Set a Watchman" was published recently but written long ago. I therefore included it here.
