300 Literary Works, 300 Authors

Here are 300 "literary" works of fiction, poetry, and theater that I recommend by 300 different authors. I don't really like the word "literary," because it doesn't mean much, but I use it here just to make a distinction between these works and the genre fiction I put in an earlier list.
