I want to know what book changed your life! Like altered your brain chemistry, made you into someone different. by bluesea222 Related: Looking for recommendations Haunted House/ Haunted building?

dicksplint on May 20, 2025 9:27 pm Non fiction: The Fact of a Body by Alex Marzano-Lesnevich. It changed me because it was so visceral and infuriating, and really illuminated the way some families excuse and protect abusers. It’s very disturbing but extremely well-written. Trigger warnings for like, everything though. I still think about this book like once a week. Fiction: Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica Again, trigger warning for everything. As a friend said: “It felt like my heart fell out of my ass at the end.” Maybe not the themes you were asking for, though!
