Are you a social outcast? Do you enjoy being outside of mainstream trends? Do you like things that no one else does? Did you hate everyone in high school? Do you hate how your family just doesn't understand you? If so, you might be a hipster and find these next five titles appalling and too popular for your tastes. However, if you are not a hipster, then you may actually enjoy these next five titles for social outcasts.

1. "Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky

Some of you may roll your eyes at the incredibly obvious choice, but hear me out for a second. This book is what John Green should be writing like. It is told through a series of letters to an unknown recipient, which I think is kind of clever and gives the reader a sense of wonder as to who this recipient is throughout the book. This title tackles topics such as drug use, domestic abuse, and sexuality in all the right ways.

2. "1984" by George Orwell

A book that has been widely banned back in the day because of the political standpoint that it takes. Nevertheless, people will no doubt think that you are some king of delinquent who wants to destroy the government when they see you reading this gem by Orwell. One of, if not his best work depicts the dystopian society that strips all individualism and would probably ring well in some outcasts' minds.

3. "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

Oh wow, another Orwell novel? He must be good. I tend to think that Orwell was the master of dystopian novels and "Animal Farm" is no exception. This title is a satirical piece written as a critique of Stalin's regime written from the perspective of actual animals. This allegorical critique is yet another title that was banned (as all of these titles on this list are), again for political purposes.

4. "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley

Another dystopian novel on this list, this title is an incredible depiction of a hyper-utilitarian society that tries to keep all people happy all the time. This world also describes reproductive technology and sleep-learning in a very haunting and introspective look at the idea of keeping everyone happy. This title will keep you talking philosophy for a long while and people may or may not think that you're a bit more nihilist than you let on.

5. "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger

My favorite book of all time, this title is the ultimate book for the social outcast. Holden Caulfield is the main protagonist and is described as a delinquent experienceing the world around him and calling it all fake. It is a deeply introspective piece of literature, one of the best works of all time and the perfect book for the social outcast.
