Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (Norton, $15). I admit it: I've never cared for Jane Eyre. But when I read Rhys' novel about "the madwoman in the attic" — whom Charlotte Brontë uses only as a plot device — I came to be deeply grateful to Jane Eyre for having provoked such a powerful response. Ulysses by James Joyce (Vintage, $17). The granddaddy of all classical retellings, and simply one of the greatest novels ever written.
