 | World of Shakespeare: The Complete Plays and Sonnets of William Shakespeare (38 Volume Library) by William Shakespeare
Buy new: $277.12 / Used from: $152.49 William Shakespeare. Enough said. No he isn't a mythic figure, nor a perfect author. But most of the time, his writing is otherworldly.
|
 | A Streetcar Named Desire (Signet) by Tennessee Williams
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 His characters are almost maddeningly symbolic, and his work is as twisted as it is sweet. Both tightly and widely scoped, Tennessee Williams' plays display a lyrical and bizarre genious.

 | Arthur Miller: Collected Plays 1944-1961 (Library of America) by Arthur Miller
Buy new: $23.10 / Used from: $17.62 Arthur Miller's gripping plays often unfold from a seemingly normal situation into revelations about the past and the fragility of morals.
|
 | The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
Buy used from: $1.11 Though I have not read Toni Morrison's most famous novel 'Beloved,' 'The Bluest Eye' is a study in depravity. Her writing is terribly depressing because of its bright, painful beauty.
|
 | Crime and Punishment (Penguin Popular Classics) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Buy new: $3.27 / Used from: $0.01 My favorite book. Fyodor Dostoevsky rips the reader through paranoia, suffering, and a ray of redemption through the deepest wretchedness. An agonizing, fast paced, and penetratingly moving piece.
