Canon of catholic Literature

In attempt to break my streak of nonfiction of reading, I elsewhere solicited advice on good fictional literature.  That exercise has inspired me a little bit to see what people would put on a list of catholic literature.  I would include Catholic, Orthodox, and high Anglican writers for purposes of constructing this list.  To spur discussion, I will offer some writers off the top of my head.

Fyodor Dostoevsky: Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov
C.S. Lewis:  Chronicles of Narnia
J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Rings
Leo Tolstoy:  Anna Karenina, War and Peace
