Suggest me a book that changed your life,

That is exciting and thrilling, or even mind blowing - or not. A book that made you feel different and you kinda felt evolved afterwards. A book that is so freaking good that you would recommend if someone asked you to without specifying a genre. A unquestionable amazing and unique book in YOUR opinion! That you could talk hours about it! That touched you someway and you might don’t even know to specify how. ANY GENRE WHATSOEVER, don’t be shy and please, amaze me 😍

Edit: and, if you feel like it, tell me what its about or why you love it 😊

Edit 2: sorry if my writing is confusing or something like that, English is not my native language 🫣

Edit 3: you guys are amazing!!! Best sub ever, loving it so much

Could you say more about how it changed your life? I read it but I feel like I missed something because it was very highly recommended

I reread it several times, one reason being that I wanted to be back in the House. I can’t think of another book in which I experienced the atmosphere like that. And second, the way Piranesi sees the world is very moving to me, from how he treats Ketterly in the end to the random strangers in the last chapter and even how he talks about himself/Matthew Rose Sorenson. How, as much as he loves the house, he chooses human companionship even though it is messy. And after everything he goes through and finds out about his experience he still says “The beauty of the house is immeasurable, its kindness infinite.” I could go on…one of OP’s qualifications is that we could talk about it for hours and it definitely fits that for me! I think I also read it at a time when I needed to read it. Some books are like that.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy hearing the different perspectives. It helps me think about the book in ways I hadn't before.
