In terms of sci-fi, I've got The War of the Worlds on list.

I allways promote Stanisław Lem, mainly Solaris.
Quick explanation: small group of scientists trying to study a possibly-intelligent ocean (called Solaris).
Why I like it: the worldbuilding is done by providing basic facts about Solaris, plus a lot of Solaristic theories, which creates space for your imagination and new theories. The interactions between humans are realistic and have meaningful dynamics. Every character has their unique perspective and I find it worthy of re-reading from that perspective. And it's also quite short.
I've also read some other Lem's books, but while they aren't bad, I don't find them as excellent as Solaris, maybe with exception of Fables for Robots, The Cyberiad and Memairs found in a Bathtub.
- Grip the bread vertically to your chest.
- Start cutting in direction from the front to the back.
- Slowly rotate the bread, so you cut the crust only in one point (the tip of the knive moves through already cut bread).
It may be easier to see it with a short knive.
In czech, we have a phrase "jak sa kráje chleba" (same way as a bread is sliced). Problem is, that (at least in my social group) nobody knows, wether it means clockwise or anticlockwise, as everybody slices the bread differently.
I've just find (in wiktionary) the word "moonwise", meaning antisunwise/counterclockwise. But the moon moves the same way as the sun does. So is there some deeper meaning based off of some long-term patterns in lunar movement, or is it just simple antagonism sun×moon?
I might try to compost it (and than separate the plastic and soil), unless I find better sollution, but I'm a bit afraid of animals messing it out from the composter.
Local trash company recycles the plastics (at least they claim so). I've also writtern them an e-mail, but I don't really expect to get an answer from them.
What about words like "happiness" or "love"?
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but you could be interested in "circular definition".
Scandinavians do, 1 scandinavian mile = 10 km.
