Alright. These are some of my favorites:

• Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes
• Grendel by John Gardner
• Don’t know if this counts, but The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. Yeah. I’m weird.

I found all of these interesting because of the unique approach each author took. Flowers for Algernon is written in first person from the perspective of someone with an IQ of 70 who turns into a genius. Grendel is a flipped take of the ancient classic Beowulf, and Five Dysfunctions is a fable about business management. Yes, such a thing exists. Of course, it’s not supposed to have an amazing plot, but just the idea of it is fascinating to me.

There’s definitely plenty more, but none are coming to my head at the moment.
