Henry Miller's the 100 Books That Influenced Me Most

Henry Miller's The 100 Books That Influenced Me Most. In 1952, novelist Henry Miller published "Books in My Life" and included a list of the 100 books that shaped him most as a writer.
NOTE: In some cases, Miller listed entire eras of writing (i.e. Greek tragedy) or the entire bibliography of a certain author (i.e. Joseph Conrad). In these cases, I have listed the most notable work of that era or author
