Stendhal, The Red and the Black
The best French novel I have read so far, by far.
Pierre Bourdieu, Language & Symbolic Power
Some useful thoughts on class structure and linguistic competence (conceptualizations of, actual practice) in here.
Edith Wharton, Collected Stories Vol. 1
The Moving Finger
Very weak effort that borrows freely from Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray
