If possible, read these in their original languages. Especially Dante. It might be noted that a common thread besides technique such as irony runs through many of these recommended works.

Should be read well before college, but Darkness at Noon conveyed the madness of collectivism to me in a way political theory texts could not. It was the talisman that shielded my developing mind from history's bad ideas, and for that, it holds a special place in my heart.
