What would reread if you only had 6 months to live?
I'm interested in books that are meaningful to you. They don't have to have mass market appeal, just tell me what you find comfort in or your favorite escape.
I would probably read a new book not one I already did. But The Giver would probably. Felt like it gave me a new appreciation for life when I read it.

– The smartest guys in the room by McLean.
– Bad blood by Carreyrou.
– The slow regard of the silent things by Rothfuss.
– The name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, I would probably would reread most of his books.
– De senectude by Cicero.

The Buru Quartet by Pramoedya Anata Toer is a dramatic and soulful series of four novels that must be read in order to get the full story: This Earth of Mankind, Child of All Nations, Footsteps and House of Glass. This is historical fiction about the birth of Indonesia as a nation and national identity, told through the eyes of young student Minke, half Dutch, half Indonesian, who is based on the father of Indonesian journalism. The author Pramoedya Anata Toer was a political prisoner when he told this as oral stories to fellow prisoners who were not allowed to read and write at the notorious Buru prison. Minke’s has an identity crisis. His trials and tribulations are uplifting and heartbreaking.
