1. Try “The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro, a poignant tale of a butler’s repressed emotions and lost opportunities, or “Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro, a haunting exploration of love, loss, and the nature of humanity.
2. If you’re open to something more philosophical, check out “The Stranger” by Albert Camus, an existentialist masterpiece that delves into themes of alienation, meaninglessness, and the search for purpose. This one will definitely leave you with a lingering sense of melancholy.
3. “Eternal Gods Die Too Soon” by Beka Modrekiladze is an intriguing blend of science fiction, philosophy, and existential musings. It explores the nature of reality, time, and consciousness through the journey of a protagonist seeking answers to the universe’s deepest mysteries.
