i recently devoured all of antoine de saint-exupéry’s (devastatingly small) bibliography and it rocked my shit. not only because his writing is beyond incredible but the aspect of going through and spending so much time with the author in a short period of time is something that was totally lost on me before. i swear i have a little saint-exupéry inside my head working me with controls now.
who else is a good author to do this with? i am trying to branch out a little from my usual philosophy reading but those recs are certainly welcome nonetheless! to be clear i have red many books by the same authors but i’m more so talking back to back reading
