items And I don't say this lightly! I wish I could read these again for the first time, to immerse myself into that dreamy world of discovering new thought patterns, to let these masterpieces shape me into the person I am today once again. This is for my f...
I remember finishing this book in the middle of the night, while Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor was playing in the background - and sobbing like there was no tomorrow. This is my favorite book of all times. A part of me lives inside the pages o...
The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
I was too young to understand the depths of this book when I first read it, but I remember daydreaming and thinking about certain ideas that are central in this book. When I reread it, a couple of years later, I remember being struck again - now fami...
Fear of Flying by Erica Jong
Kundera understands the dynamics and laws of the human nature and spirit on a deep level. I am in love with this book and with the way his writing works. He will build a whole new world for you to immerse yourself in.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America by Elizabeth Wurtzel
This one is like a follow-up on Prozac Nation, yet so different - a new episode, raw and beautiful in all its lunacy. I still remember a lot of the scenery from the book very vividly. You will not be able to put it down. If you've ever been depressed...
More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction by Elizabeth Wurtzel
At the risk of repeating myself, I will say it once again - Sylvia has touched a deep part of me. I know this is the case for many people who've had their fair share with depression. But even if that is not your reason for picking this book up, you w...
