I’m going to start a new book first thing in the morning when I wake up. What should it be? My criteria - fiction, engrossing, philosophical (by which I mean concerned about how to live well), well written. Recent reading: 3 body problem Flowers for Algernon Everything by Ursula le Guin

I just finished the island, it was wonderful, thank you! 1000 $degen. The levels of narrative and experience that it describes is phenomenal. The exploration of society and individual. The descriptions of psychedelic experiences. And to see how these ideas have permeated over the last 60 years. And fundamentally bringing to life our core existential paradox, whilst also offering a solution... it is wonderful. I've bought it for @jog I hope she reads it too. (tagging her in the hope this helps, because the book cover isn't exactly inviting!)

omg!!! thank you for the tip, but I would also like to thank you a LOT more for coming back to this thread and replying to it again!! It's funny, because scrolling up to the original post, it fits all 3 of your criteria! I also recommended the same book to someone else earlier on today too! I really need to read this book again! lol I love how you talk about it. I hope @jog gets a chance to read it too! Which cover version did you get? This one? also, funnily enough, living with a bird, whenever he chirps, I think about this book and the bird chirping "attention" lmao
