Candide by Voltaire
3.0

My first time reading Voltaire after I read a biography about Catherine the Great and learned that she liked his work

It’s not what I expected but I like how this is written in comparison to other philosophical books I’ve read

It’s more entertaining

At first I was a bit disappointed to find out that the solution to life is to work, it felt kinda propagandaey, but I’m also a Gemini so I get where he’s coming from

It’s like when I stopped taking my antidepressant cause it felt better to be sad than to just feel numb all the time
