4. The meme trilogy in a single volume
5. Le petite prince

assuming no internet:

edith hamilton's greek mythology
gene wolfe's book of the new sun
jorge luis borges' labybrinths
tolstoy's war and peace
dostoevsky crime and punishment

>annotated nrsv holy bible with apocrypha
>Borges' collected fiction
>The Waves by Woolf
>The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky
>In Search of Lost Time by Proust
