The Epic of Gilgamesh; LB6 & LB7 of F/GO; "The End of a Dynasty, or The Natural History of Ferrets"; Darling; "The Paper Menagerie"; FMAB; the Chainsaw Man movie; "All Summer in a Day"; The Odyssey; this Naruto slashfic; these two HP fics; Crime and Punishment; The Great Gatsby; Dune Messiah; Huckleberry Finn; Nicholas Nickleby; Othello; To Kill a Mockingbird; "Tower of Babylon"; Thus Spoke Zarathustra; The Mysterious Island; "Life of Lycurgus"; Paradise Lost; The Books of Jacob; There is No Antimemetics Division;

I'd expect Job, Ecclesiastes, and the Aeneid to make the list once I've read them. Neither Anna Karenina nor War and Peace do (maybe I was just too young?). Have forgotten ~all the Victorian literature I read as a child (complete Dickens, Jane Eyre, . . . ?). Hard for me to think of movies (The Godfather was OK. Forrest Gump would make it). Joyce sometimes wrote closed narratives but he was never a "closed author."
