Completely alone in the woods for 48h. Looking for something to challenge perspectives.
Hello!
As the title says, I’m heading off to go camping and will have bountiful time to read. I’m already an avid reader, but am looking for suggestions that will make me question the world we live in, how language can be played with, or the way our minds work.
I’ve recently gotten into non-fiction, however I need it to flow like a story (currently finishing up Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green). So I’m open to suggestions from either side of the fiction line!
In the past, books that have made the greatest impact on me are:
- I Know This Much is True - Wally Lamb
- The English Patient - Michael Ondaatje
- The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons - Sam Kean
- The Elementals - Michael McDowell (and the Black Water series!)
- We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson
Hope that’s not too broad of a request! 😂
Thanks in advance!
