The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain
5.0
Well, time for an existential crisis... take the 5 stars Mr. Twain.
What an amazing and philosophical story. The only reason I know about this story is from Red Dead Redemption, where a character with the same name appears to John Marston. I heard that this man was inspired by the original story, and since I'm on a classics binge at the moment, I was very interested in reading it.
The whole time, I felt like I was reading a fairy tale infused with Mark Twain's perspective on the world and the human experience. The moral of the story (seemingly) came down to the idea that actions have consequences and that sometimes, something that seems terrible can actually be a blessing in disguise—until the ending. It took a turn I certainly didn’t expect.
I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time and trying my best not to spiral into existential dread.
