All of them. Books are a great way to learn empathy and the ability to see from another person’s perspective.

Coraline, because of the bravery.
Witcher series: the big, big price of neutrality (lot of violence against women and minorities, dark af books but very good). Author sucks sadly.
LOTR because of the epicness, in awe of Tolkien‘s genius (but the Hobbit part was boring and I skipped Gollum, I’m sorry).

{{The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa}} was one that really got to me. It’s hard to describe in the same way David Lynch’s movies can be hard to describe, Pessoa was a very solitary individual who, if he was alive today, would probably be diagnosed with a dissociative disorder. But he was also a big influence on people like David Bowie and David Johansen of the New York Dolls, and I really felt like I understood my own subconscious a lot more after I first read this book.
