Top 5 Pieces of Literature

What’re the top 5 pieces of literature you’ve read? I say literature instead of “books” because instead of a continuous narrative in prose format, you can include epic poetry, collections of poetry, or even plays (if you’ve read them, not just seen them live).
My top 5 favorite books are:
1. The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne
2. The Complete Plays - Sophocles
3. The Complete Tales and Poems - Edgar Allan Poe
4. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
5. All the Light We Cannot See - Anthony Doerr

Honorable mention: any of the books from Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher series.

1. Iliad - Homer
2. Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
3. Faust - Goethe
4. Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes
5. Hamlet - Shakespeare
