Just finished Flowers for Algernon — what should I read next?

The last few weeks have felt oddly orchestrated by the universe.

•Wandered into a bookstore, finally picked up The Alchemist (friends had pushed it for years) — loved it.

•While cleaning my desk I found a long-ago gift, Tuesdays with Morrie — read it, loved it.

•My uncle nudged me toward The Four Agreements — timely and useful.

•Someone here called Flowers for Algernon their favorite book; I took the hint, read it, and… wow.

I’d love to keep this streak going.

What I’m in the mood for

•Character-driven books that hit emotionally and stick with me

•Thoughtful but accessible (short-to-medium length is a plus)

Not looking for (right now) super-dense hard sci-fi or bleak nihilism just for the sake of it

EDIT : Also read Siddhartha
