On the topic of "great books interrupted by the author's death," my very nerdy contribution is Melville's Billy Budd--if he had lived another 10 years, my feeling is he'd be remembered for that over Moby-Dick.
I can start a workshop thread, but I'll need lots of input from others on categories etc . . .
