Howard's End, EM Forster, is one, along with all of Forster.

Arcadia, a play by Tom Stoppard, is fantastic. Good for many re-reads (and re-watches).

Ursula Le Guin (maybe The Left Hand of Darkness is my favorite?) might be the best sci-fi/fantasy ever written, as much as I love Lois McMaster Bujold (three worlds to choose from, each offering many more or less independent novels and novellas), who is also great.

A few more:

Sometimes a Great Notion, Ken Kesey.

My Antonia, Willa Cather.

Bluebeard, Kurt Vonnegut.



Am intrigued by the mention of "re-watches" for Arcadia. Is there some filmed production of the play which is available on video? Have never been able to find one ...


Not that I know of. I just keep an eye out for nearby theaters performing it.
