Just for fun. They're fun reads. Easy to digest, easy to read, great stories (imo), overall solid books.

I know it's short and unimpressive, but Animal Farm. I love making connections between metaphors and reality, especially that from history.

I hated The Great Gatsby I couldn't even get through it. It's 90% rich trust fund babies gossiping and blabbing about uninteresting political and social garbage.

The story and Hemingway's style is enough to make it an enjoyable read for when you just want to read something "fun".

Then there are the "hidden" subjects of the book: Post-war depression, masculinity, purity, "the modern woman"...

It's just a great book no matter what you're looking for.
