Just for the stories, the bible is a great read! In fact, that's how we are supposed to read it!

Candide - Voltaire
Cannery Row -Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men - Steinbeck
Lord of the Flies - Golding
Siddhartha - Hesse
Slaughterhouse-5 - Vonnegut
Metamorphosis - Kafka
The Giver -Lowry
As I Lay Dying - Faulkner
Alas, Babylon - Frank

You may also want to check out some short stories, for example those of O. Henry

Lastly I would suggest reading some plays like The Glass Menagerie, Cyrano de Bergerac, and Happy Birthday, Wanda June.
