Oil! Upton Sinclair English
You follow Bunny Ross from California oil fields into labor, wealth, and radical politics, while his father Arnold treats disaster as a business problem. Sinclair can preach, but the dusty wells, company violence, and Bunny’s growing conscience give the book real heat.
Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle Edgar Rice Burroughs English
This is the one where Tarzan stumbles on a lost valley of crusaders' descendants still jousting in full armor, and an American named Blake gets swept into their knighthood. Pure pulp adventure, cheerfully absurd, and Burroughs knows it.
The Painted Veil W. Somerset Maugham English
You get Maugham’s cool, unsentimental look at Kitty Fane, whose vanity and restlessness gradually meet the human cost of a cholera epidemic in colonial China. It’s emotionally severe rather than cozy, but the shifts in Kitty and Walter stay with you because neither is reduced to a type.
