I’m 44 years old and have pretty much lost my spark for life. I need a book that is going to wake me from the soulless slumber my life has become. I like adventure, fiction or non, brutality, any time period. Thanks
East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Go through the motions and eventually something will grow.

Man, your post resonated with me hard core. I’ve been feeling the same way for awhile. Reading definitely is the escape that helps me out the most.
Have you considered a long, involved series of books that will hold your interest for a long period of time? I’m thinking the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It is escapism at its best.
I hope you can rekindle that spark, my friend. Just know that you’re not alone

I wouldn’t say it “sparked my life” but I really really enjoyed and had some strong feelings reading ‘Reincarnation Blues’ by Michael Poore. Highly recommend! It’s heavy but also funny in a dark sort of way, about mortality and how short life is and the quest to live a perfect life and be accepted by whatever after life you believe in… It’s great!
