not necessarily the best written book ever or the most popular one, but a novel that actually stayed with you after finishing it. the kind where certain lines or moments randomly come back to you months later.
for me it’s interesting when a story teaches something without sounding preachy. could be about ambition, loneliness, relationships, grief, purpose, growing older, anything really.
even books that completely wrecked you emotionally count lol. i’m trying to build a reading list that feels meaningful instead of just entertaining. curious what books did that for other people.
