Going on a 100 seminal literature crusade list since I've never read most greats. Started and just finished with Ulysses, about 100 pages into War and Peace right now. Some breath of fresh air in comparison to Joyce. Ulysses was god tier but I was completely drained reading it in 2 weeks.

Very similar to Japanese Destroyer Captain. Poor Samurai boy makes mother proud, becomes top of class, kills some Chinese insects then kills many stupid Americans until they cheat and get better technology.

A day in the life of Ivan longrussianlastname

Its about a soldier in Soviet russia who lives in a prison labor camp for supposedly insulting stalin. Based on the real accounts of the author who was subjected to exactly that. It's good. I just finished notes from the underground before this. I'm in russian civ and were reading a lot of Russian lit

Descent of Angels by Mitchel Scanlon
I'm really exited for reading this book, which is Nr. 6 in the Horus Heresy series, because I've read about the inspiration for the Dark Angels and found it to be really cool and because the story branches out from just telling the story at the Isstvan system in the Warhammer Galaxy.

Also the writing style so far is very similar to that of Arn The Knights Templar by Jan Guillou, which is another series that I love and read all four of!

Freud - General Introduction into Psychoanalysis

I assumed you were looking for introductory texts.
If you want something lighter, Stephen Grosz The Examined Life is pretty okay, too.
