Not OP from previous thread but was inspired/motivated by their last post. What are the best books which you could compare and/contrast? Just curious because in the last thread I've seen some interesting suggestions like Dorian Gray, and Faust or "The Idiot", and "The Stranger", so I was looking for more.

You could compare both of those to We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

I tried but it looked really redundant at first glance desu. Seems like he just recaps all the themes from BNW and preaches them all over again but this time in a non-fiction voice, of course using real-life examples which are pretty obsolete from a today's standpoint.

Maybe works okay as a BNW preface, but definitely not as a standalone piece.

That being said, I gave up after a page or two, so fuck my opinion, I'm just free bumping
