Wow, I have read this book in Swedish and loved it as a kid.
There was another similar German book that was post apocalyptical by Gudrun Pausewang, called "Schewenborn" and another German one called "Froki" about the dangers of dependency on oil.
All of these really shaped my worldview and I read them several times, although not as an adult.
Books I have re-read a few times as a adult:
The Bible (surprise, surprise....)
The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov
Donna Tartts' books
The Narnia books
Ondskan (Evil) by Jan Guillou
Several of the Russian classics, such as The Government inspector by Gogol
Catcher in the Rye
But I have to admit I read a lot less as an adult. My passing into adulthood co-incided with the emergence of Internet. It's a different culture now than in the 1980s
