I’m about ready for a new book. I am deeply craving a life changing novel. Just as the title says, I’m looking for something with a love plot (does not have to be the main focus at all), some deep thought provoking talk (one may say, philosophical) and by art, really that can be so broad. And preferably not a series, just a nice 200-400 page book. Thank you 🙂

I haven’t read it in years but I think ‘the unbearable lightness of being’ would fit your criteria
The Offing by Benjamin Myers,
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
For a classic examination of political philosophy, ‘The Republic’ by Plato is my top suggestion. In this Socratic dialogue, the definitions of justice and the ideal state are explored, making it a foundational text for understanding Western philosophical thought.
For an approachable yet profound look at Eastern philosophy, ‘The Tao Te Ching’ by Lao Tzu is a book I often suggest. Its series of meditations on the nature of life and power are thought-provoking, offering a guide to living in harmony with the Tao, or the way of the universe.
