It's also a spooky cautionary tale of how the commies will try to steal your shiny scales and try to make you feel bad if you wont give them up for the public good.

The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen

The audiobook is particularly good, as it's read by an aged Matthiessen to his children. Incredible dive into eastern philosophy

The Prince

Beyond good and Evil

Walden Pond

Dante's Hell, and purgatory,(never finished heaven).

H.P Lovecraft

Leviathan

EDIT: If I had to narrow it down to one hmm. Beyond good and evil. A tough win but I would go with that.
