The Crucible is a theater play that I had to read back when I was in school still, yet it hasn't let me go since then. It's basically a telling of the Salem Witch Trials but can also be understood as a comment on the communist hunt under McCarthy in the 20th century - or maybe as an example for any situation that spirals out of control eventually. I think what intrigued me so much about this play is how destructive and how quickly things can get out of hand, simply because some people are shitty, self-righteous, power-hungry, greedy or sometimes simply naive human beings. If you aren't afraid of a somewhat older language style and the topic interests you, I'd highly recommend this.
