I've read all but Anatomy of Restlessness.  I never got along that well with Hemingway, but the others are brilliant.

Dorian Gray for me; funny, terrifying and incredibly prosaic. Has always been one of my fave books. Good to see it on your list Clap

I've read two of those and have Nineteen Eighty-Four on my bookshelf to read.

Somewhere (I have no idea where), I have a copy of For Whom the Bell Tolls.  I think my brother may have borrowed it (actually, it was never mine in the first place).

Out of those two, I'd say The Metamorphosis.  Although The Picture of Dorian Grey is also one of my favourites.

By "Metamorphosis" you probably mean "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka
well, in my local bookstore they didn't have "From Whom The Bell Tolls"CryWink
And yes, Franz Kafka is the author of MetamorphosisWink

Actually Anatomy Of Restlessness isn't quite a classic, but these are the books that I'm planning on reading this summer.
