Read this book in School and it‘s one of my most time favorite, it is a play, but is so good and makes you think about your life and decision in so many way. Also has the best paragraph of all time.

A shadow, a delirium, a fiction.
The greatest good's but little, and this life
Is but a dream, and dreams are only dreams.
