Hello, I really like books that have a kinda mythological background or elements of such, that are also thematically and philosophically rich, concerning it self with things like morality and fate.
Books I have found that are like this, that I have enjoyed very much are
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy,
Moby Dick by Melville,
and also Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
I find these book interesting for their symbolism, and having characters be representations of themes or ideas e.g. The Judge, Moby Dick, Frankensteins Monster.
What other books would you suggest that I should read?
Thank you in advance 😀

Norse Mythology series – Neil Gaiman

Madeline Miller’s Circe and Song of Achilles are both set within the world of Greek mythology. They extremely well written and definitely go into the deep themes you’re looking for.
Look no further than Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche
