Hi Reddit! I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately about the good old days. I’m about to ship off to college in a few months and well, it’s been tough.
If it helps, I’d like something like Matilda by Roald Dahl and The help by Kathryn Stockett. They are both so beautifully written. And throw in a bit of Holden Caulfield angst.
I’m craving a protagonist that is studious, quiet, angsty, sweet and troubled. Someone that’s lost in their own head. Someone like who I used to be.
I’ve outgrown the introversion and the studious me is barely clinging on. I just want to be transported back in time. Maybe something close to my roots as well? Something Indian or within the South Asian subcontinent.
So, d’you think you could help me?
