looking to expand my horizons. My last 2 books: the power of introverts and the subtle art of not giving a f*ck.

    Not exactly a new book, but All Quiet on the Western Front was a fantastic read. It’s a grotesquely frank depiction of the unfortunate "Have Not"s fighting a meaningless war for the "Have"s in society, set in the german trenches of WW1.

      From the same author, Erich Maria Remarque, “A night in Lisbon” is also very good.

        I’ve read this one as well. It’s not bad, but the three comrades, along with all quiet, are both masterpieces.
