From oldest to most recent

>Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, by Sigmund Freud

8/10, very insightful, though it felt like a chore because of the dryness of the prose. Despite that, I recommend it.

>Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare

10/10, an excellent study on character development and symbolism. Juliet is waifu tier, and the Queen Mab speech is one of my favorite monologues.

>Macbeth, by William Shakespeare

10/10, a masterpiece, perhaps my favorite Shakespeare tragedy. Anything I could say couldn't start to make it justice

>The Immoralist, by André Gide

3/10, didn't like it at all, felt like a terrible chore, the themes were so evident and commonplace that I couldn't take any enjoyment off it; very typically French autofictional nouvelle. I give it a three because Marceline made me feel pity.

>The Sound of Waves, by Yukio Mishima

8/10, this one I read in Spanish. Very comfy book, I can actually picture it being made an anime series or movie. The themes were nicely conveyed and the characterization was good. It made me forget the bad taste that Gidé's novel left.

I'm starting to read The Truce by Mario Benedetti (in Spanish). I'm liking it a lot so far.
