Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some book recommendations to gift someone who is really into reading, especially philosophical or thought-provoking books. They enjoy books that make you reflect, question things, or just stay with you long after you’ve finished them.
I’d love suggestions for:
• Philosophical or deep reads
• Hidden gems (not the very obvious mainstream ones)
• Books you personally feel are a must-read at least once
It could be fiction or non-fiction, anything that really made an impact on you.
Would really appreciate your suggestions 🙂

This might be mainstream, my apologies if so, but I really enjoyed When Breath Becomes Air. It’s a memoir but I still think about it once a week.
Richard Bach Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions are still among my favorites in this area
Anne Morrow Lindbergh A Gift From the Sea, which she wrote on a solitary beach trip after he son was kidnapped and later found dead
Diane Ackerman A Natural History of the Senses, as well as her other books
Thich Nhat Hanh any of his books on Buddhism and philosophy
Elaine Pagels The Gnostic Gospels,
