Gradiva for the Freudian cred. Re: London, I've only read White Fang, which twelve year-old me thought was bad-ass (still is).

The Pit -- kinda feel like Norris is the Len Deighton of muckraker fiction, but I like Deighton and have a definite soft spot for where economics, sociology, and history meet fiction

I've only read call of the wild. Want to read the Erskine Childers even just as a curio for someone involved in amateur RA studies

Lots of unfamiliar books by familiar authors.
Read call of the wild a few years ago and it prompted me to read more Jack London like The Iron Heel which predicts WWII. Quite depressing in its depictions of class war.

I'm not entirely confident that Gradiva is better than Freud's praesee of it, but having read the latter I'm not sure I need to read the former
