Most people read this in school but there are lots of important things to learn from it: racism, genderroles and the unfair treatment of the black community (in Alabama in the Depression-era)
This satire-ridden book by Orwell illustrates the fear of revolution: a group of farm animals refuse to be slaves of humans any longer and take matters into their own hands (paws), making the world a dystopian one. A nod to the Soviet Union from a Western perspective
You know when you used to write wattpad stories about your own life? Goethe did it in 1774. A story about one-sided love for a married woman in the form of letters. To solve the love triangle that hurts him so bad Werther sees no other way out than the extreme one

A literary fight against "existentialism" by our loved Camus. About a murder, the conviction and the distance between Meursault and his body as he seemingly shows no emotion - everybody is sentenced to die, killer and victim, we're all equal
The Suicide shop is exactly what it sounds like, everything here is to kill yourself with it. Dark comedy and lots of still relevant easter eggs (names and climate change for example). The book is almost a depiction of a fight between sadness/suicide/pessimism and optimism
