Thoreau's Walden, obviously. You don't need to read the entire thing, especially considering that they later chapters fall off a bit in quality. However, I don't like to skip around when I read so I just carried on. Worth it.

Secondly, Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a pinnacle work of poetry (in America). That being said, I hated the selections I read on my own. In college I studied him again and, to my surprise, I found that I hated him even more than I thought originally. I find his work over-embellished and obnoxious and, yes, I know it's the point. Check it out and see if it's for you:

Melville and Hawthorne BTFO'd them the fuck out.
