I’m looking for some interesting books that make you really question yourself, things that are surreal in nature, confusing but with a point, the sort of book that you can’t get out of your mind because of how wild or how much it’s made you question everything, sorry I can’t be more specific or less cryptic sounding, I don’t mind the genre, thanks in advance :))

The concept of law – H.L.A. Hart
The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley is an essay on unmarked areas of the human consciousness. (Specifically how hallucinogenics might effect our way of thinking so if you don’t like reading about drugs nvm)
Why Nations Fail: Daren Acemoglu & James Robbison
Sex at Dawn: Christopher Ryan & Cacilda Jetha
1493: Charles Mann
Freakanomics: Steven Levitt & Stephen Dunbar
Holy Blood Holy Grail: Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh
Economics + History will change the way you view how things actually work
Sounds like you might want to read Murakami – I think a lot of *The Wind-up Bird Chronicles.* Though *Frankissstein* by Jeanette Winterson might also fit the bill. And maybe *How Much of these Hills* is Gold by Zhang
*The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life* by Erving Goffman.
Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota series. Deeply weird, philosophical, excellent
