The "Other" Books by Well-Known Authors - Page 2

Our maverick English Teacher and contrarian looks at some less well known works of some well known authors. These are all works that have some claim to literary merit, but for some reason have not achieved the following that one would expect, given who the authors are. Our compiler limited himself to one work by each author and to 75 works total, primarily to prevent him from indulging his penchant for showing off by listing all kinds of obscure works by favorites. He also makes no claim to have read all of these, although he is surprised by how many he actually has.
