Borges is a king of short stories and metaphors. A must read in my opinion. Anything by Borges. Although I understand that finding the works online might be hard. Same with Jarry. Sorry!
Just my two cents.

Hi,
I really like this idea, Bradbury's idea is wonderful, but I think maybe you could structure this project in a better way to encourage collaboration - it's difficult to know how to make suggestions / pull requests at the moment.
Maybe a folder structure would help? Possibly something which separates each of the days' study out into separate files like:
Obviously this would lead to a lot of manual duplication - you'd need to manually maintain the index and study materials - but it's better than nothing.
The benefit to having different files for each day of the project is that you can then include the texts themselves directly in the project (where copyright allows) without cluttering up the project. In fact, it might be interesting to try to do this project entirely with public domain texts - using sites such as Project Gutenberg for example.
Anyway, nice idea :-)
You can mine UbuWeb for far longer than 1000 days for essays and poems:
Also, pennsound has loads of recorded poems (recorded by the author):

These anthologies are also pretty awesome:

http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520208643
I'll go through later and select some, but I thought it would be helpful to post some potential sources for others to comb through.
This ebook contains hundreds of essays from dozens of authors. The ebook itself is $5, but I think most of the essays are available online.
If I have time in the next few days, I'll try to go through and add links for the essays.

Everything Ted Chiang writes is absolutely first rate. His stories always make you think, and are relevant to the now. Here are 7 stories: http://www.freesfonline.de/authors/Ted_Chiang.html
With 1000 poems several modern lyrical masterpieces could be included for versatile experiences with some music. Looking at artists with more poetic styles and less violent language, word-hacks and street slang I would list Aesop Rock, Atmosphere and Sage Francis. Maybe also 2Pac, Immortal Technique, Gangstarr, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, MF-Doom, KRS-One, Common and older works of Nas, though they may not look as good when only read for different reasons. Listing a few songs to consider:
If the idea is to your liking I will gladly look for more or replace some.
Also, please mix styles and authors, don't have Shakespeare several days in a row.

One of my favorite all-time writers. His short stories are philosophical, thought provoking, and fun. Fits this project's ethos well.

Looks like there's decent interest in this. Some ideas for building it out further:
multiple people progressing through the oeuvre in sync
After that you can add group tracking features to share/discuss the current reading, see who else is on the same track as you, and join tracks currently in progress.
eg. "Topics: politics, philosophy. Difficulty: (1-5 stars). Intensity: perhaps... emotional impact"
Eventually this will let people be more selective about the works on their list. A generation system could be configured with minimum rating, and constrained by topic, author, time period, etc.
Looking at this, it seems I'm describing a collaborative lifelong-reading system with social enhancements. Viva la future.

I have a few suggestions for texts / authors you might like to consider. These are just off the top of my head, so apologies for spelling errors / mistakes. Many of them are probably available freely online. I have tried to focus on genuine "classics".
