📖​books that permanently altered my brain
10
items I’m not a “read 50 books a year” girl — I’m a “read one book and let it consume my thoughts for six months” girl. A collection of books about love, loneliness, identity, growing up, feeling lost and trying to make sense of being alive.
Â
My absolute favourite book. I don’t even know how to explain what this book did to me — love, identity, freedom, loneliness, the meaning of our choices…
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Â
One of those books that makes you question everything you thought you knew about life, meaning and human existence. I love how detached and unsettling it feels — short, strange and somehow impossible to stop thinking about afterwards.
The Stranger
Â
A painfully honest look at being young, lost and feeling like you’re watching your own life from the outside. It’s raw, uncomfortable and weirdly comforting at the same time. One of those books that makes you feel very, very seen.
The Bell Jar
Â
The kind of book that makes you stare at the ceiling after finishing it. I love how painfully real it feels — two people who love each other, but somehow keep getting in their own way. Quiet, messy, intimate and way too relatable.
Normal People
Â
Dreamy, melancholic and slightly unsettling. I love how it captures that strange feeling of being young, fascinated by someone you can never really understand, and trying to piece together a story from the outside. Beautiful, haunting and definitely ...
The Virgin Suicides
Â
Messy, raw and completely unhinged in the best way. It gets inside the head of a girl who’s trying to figure out who she is while making some very questionable decisions. Dark, funny, uncomfortable and painfully honest — exactly the kind of book I lo...
The Girls
Â
That quiet, aching kind of book that stays with you long after you finish it. It’s about love, loneliness, grief and being young enough to feel everything way too deeply. Beautiful, melancholic and one of those books that somehow feels like a memory.
Norwegian Wood
Â
Quiet, strange and beautifully introspective. A story about two people who are both losing something, somehow finding a connection in the middle of it. It’s melancholic, intimate and the kind of book you finish and just sit there for a while.
Greek Lessons
Â
One of those books that feels less like a story and more like stepping into another world. Beautiful, strange and deeply connected to nature, life and death. I love how poetic and dreamlike it is.
When I Sing, Mountains Dance
Â
Beautifully strange, feverish and completely immersive. It feels like stepping into a dream — or a really intense night you’re not entirely sure you remember correctly. I loved the mix of friendship, nature, music, spirituality and chaos. Weird in ex...
