Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
5.0
Absolutely brilliant and life changing to my 10th grade brain. This is the only summer reading (and honestly the only book assigned for school) that I ever did with pleasure.
This book allowed me feel comfortable being myself for once. I was made fun of in class for proclaiming my love for this book (yeah I deserved it for being a fucking nerd lmao)but man. I will never not be over the moon for this gorilla.
Would I ever choose to read this again? Fuck no. It’s slow and terribly paced. But as a 15 year old burnt out-gifted-kid who had terrible attention for span, I was so glad I finished it. It had an amazing pay off.
