Singer argues that citizens from wealthy nations are morally obligated to donate to charity to help people in extreme poverty. A good primer for effective altriusm!

A beautifully written fictional book about a girl who steals books from Nazis. My favourite fiction book of all time!

An introduction to moral and political philosophy with a complementary online course taught at Harvard. Really dives into the question "What is the right thing to do?"
The Diary of a Young Girl
by Anne Frank
The diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl in hiding during the German occupation of Netherlands.
Animal Farm

A classic and also my favourite childhood book. I should really reread this one as I have forgotten the details of what it's about but I just remember it being amazing!
