Okay then, you're on:

Just to be utterly predictable:

"The Catcher in the Rye" - U.NO. Who

"The Great Gatsby" - F. Scott Fitzgerald.

then

"Prelude" - Katherine Mansfield

"Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley

"These Happy Golden Years" - Laura Ingalls Wilder

"A Streetcar Named Desire" - Tennessee Williams

"Pale Fire" - Vladimir Nabokov

"The Outsiders" - S.E. Hinton

"Possession" - A.S. Byatt

"Green Eggs and Ham" - Dr. Seuss

"Emily of New Moon" - L.M. Montgomery

and the local contingent:

"Good Works" - Nick Enright

"Sweet Phoebe" - Michael Gow

"Tirra Lirra By The River" - Jessica Anderson

Hmm, that's what ... twelve?

This is right along the lines of the philosophical question Seymour asked
that I answered the other day: who are the writers one loves? I came up
with six, but only three were from the 20th Century. Like Seymour I had to
admit to myself that sometimes I just prefer my Conan Doyle to my Goethe (:
