Catch-Up Reading

A to-read list, with heavy emphasis on literary 'notables' I've missed out on, but also some general titles I've been after. Many of these already sit in my personal library unread.
Been meaning to expand my reading for a while, hopefully it sticks!
List is alphabetized by author name.
