Don Quijote by Miguel de Cervantes
Much reading and booklearning can drive you to try and become one of the characters in your favorite novels. This is what happens to Don Quijote, who attempts many knightly (骑士的) acts while stopped by a world that has rejected knightly virtues.
Cervantes combines all three elements—madness, comedy, and fantasy—in between conversations and adventures.

A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume
Exploring the scientifically applied moral philosophy is the goal of this treatise.
Building on early complaints against the endless guesses and arguments between philosophers, this work promotes a move away from metaphysical speculation (形而上学的猜测) and a permanent shift toward systems based on observational facts.

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky
In the book, each character is representative of one of the ruling classes.
There is the father Fyodor, the landowner who is careless about his land, but greedy in using its produce for himself. There's Dmitri, who has been passed around from house to house, and gentle Alyosha, the mysterious peacemaker. The themes of love, law, and duty make it one of the best Dostoevsky's books to read.
