Hey everyone,
So I’ve been on this kind of journey lately where I just want books that genuinely challenge me. Not just good stories, but things that make me stop mid-page and just sit with a thought for a while.
I’ve read stuff like Kafka, Camus, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Orwell and I loved all of it. That feeling when a book quietly shifts something in your perspective or makes you question how society is built and why we just accept it the way it is. That’s what I’m after.
Doesn’t have to be philosophy, fiction works too as long as it has that depth to it. And honestly doesn’t have to be a long book either, some of the best ones I’ve read were pretty short.
Classics are totally fine, doesn’t need to be anything recent. Just something that has a certain weight to it. Maybe even something that had a real impact when it came out.
If you’ve got a recommendation that genuinely stuck with you, I’d love to hear it.
What’s a book that changed the way you think?
