1. God Of Carnage by Yasmina Reza
The book is a razor-sharp, satirical play that delves into the complexities of human nature and societal civility. When two sets of parents meet to discuss a physical altercation between their sons, what begins as a civilized conversation quickly devolves into a chaotic, explosive clash of egos and values. As the veneer of politeness strips away, the characters reveal their own pettiness, hypocrisy, and savagery, painting a darkly comic picture of the conflicts and contradictions inherent in modern society.
