Less Frequently Read Works of Famous Authors

These are works by well-known authors, and many of them quite often appear on lists of critically acclaimed books. Despite this, they seem to have limited readership.
OK, I confess that I've stacked this list with somewhat more works by favourite authors of mine. Publisher's privilege and it also makes it more likely that eventually at least one person will have read these books.
