Yo, whats up Reddit?
Many years ago when I was 12, my mum gave me a book called “redeeming love”. Now I have never been a person who cries neither do I get caught up in books and stuff.
But this book, it is different, it makes me feel a lot of different feelings. It makes me angry, sad, hopeless, feeling affectionated by some made up characters. It’s the only book I have read more than once, except for some of the books in the Bible.
Now I used to be framed as a tough guy who don’t have much feelings and stuff, but every time I read this book, it just completely cracks.
It makes me feel the good side and the evil side. I get to feel how Angel (Amanda) feels, and how Micheal Hosea feels.
What is this feeling stuff from a book in the first place?
And maybe even more important, are there more books like this?
I’m sorry this was quite long, I hope you reach all the way down here without getting bored:)
Peace.

Best English language novel of all time:
Moby Dick – Herman Melville
Fight me.
Ada by Vladimir Nabokov
Count of Monte cristo. The only book apart from Lord of the Rings i have re read multiple times.
Where the sidewalk ends – Shel Silverstein
Best story would probably be The Count of Monte Cristo. But because I only read the translated version, I couldn’t say it is the best written novel.
Maybe Moby Dick?
Or Great Expectations?
Imajica by Clive Barker is written beautifully. Sometimes I’ll go back and re-read parts because it just flows so well
Not exactly what you’re asking I think since it’s NF, but The Nineties, or most anything else by Klosterman. Tight arguments, interesting sentences. Even if you think he’s a blowhard, he makes you think.
What a great post btw. Leads with yo what’s up, and finishes with concern that 150 words is too long for a book readers sub.
I think you’d enjoy Jonathan Livingston Seagull
The best book you have ever read isn’t better than *at least* one you haven’t.
There’s one called
Have You Truly Been Born Again Of Water and the Spirit
The Brothers Karamazov
Don Quixote of La Mancha
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky
