I’ll offer as a second nomination J. D. Sallinger’s Catcher In the Rye. The novel details the various ways people “have fun” through playing a game using the stereotyped roles society provides. The irony of this activity is perceived by the lonely narrator who wanders through the various by ways of his world.

Unfortunately this book does not seem to exist in an ebook format and this may be a dealbreaker though we have used paper back editions in the past. PB editions of the novel are easy to obtain and reasonably inexpensive.
