Howl and Other Poems
Less Than Zero
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Go Ask Alice
Romeo and Juliet
Richard III
Huck Finn
Night
Where the Sidewalk Ends
The Color Purple
Charlotte's Web
The Bell Jar
part of The Sorrows of Young Werther
The Return of the Native
Interview with the Vampire
The Crucible
Bunnicula
Lolita
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Slaughterhouse-Five
Brave New World
The Great Gatsby
The Catcher in the Rye
The Scarlet Letter
and some of these you have listed under more than one edition...
