Hey! Any suggestions on any books that reflect or represent existential and vocational crisis from the mid-twenties anxieties? I’m not really into self-help books, more like social studies essays or perhaps novela that go through these issues. I mean, I know Camus is pretty existentialist. Something like that.
Also in this stage of life I’ve been really remembering the protagonist of My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
Or maybe there was a book that was significant to you during a time like that.
I appreciate any recommendations 🙂

Letters to a young poet by Rainer Rilke. The book I keep finding myself coming back to these past few years
Weirdly, Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (just the first book). Also: Hangsaman and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery, Excellent Women by Barbara Pym, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, and The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. And even The Remains of the Day by Ishiguro.
Beautiful World Where Are You by Sally Rooney was That Book for me.
