As an organizing tool, to build community. Recommendations of normie friendly books that are also worth owning a copy of.

I'll throw in some hard theory, too, but I don't want it to be too heavy handed. Can't reveal my power level, too much.

Reading Bullshit Jobs right now, to give you an idea.

Edit: used online bookstore that isn't Amazon? I'll check out the local stores, but incase they don't have what I'm looking for.

Also, libs bait that isn't the worst? Harry potter-ish, but better?

      I don't think any of those dystopias are meant to be YA besides Hunger Games, if that genre category means anything. One that very much is YA and I presume was inspired at least a bit by "Omelas," is The Giver.

          I'll endorse adding pretty much any Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles especially, although I've found different editions collect different stories.
