The Little Prince
by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This book always shows up at the top of best seller lists and is the second most translated book of all time besides the Bible, so I had to read it. I recognized the drawing of the snake eating the elephant from a meme I saw a while back, but outside of that I've heard surprisingly little about it besides a couple references in movies as some character's favorite book. The most interesting part of the book is that the author actually crash landed a plane in the Sahara desert, making this book somewhat autobiographical as many of the characters and elements are based on his life. I feel bad giving a low rating to a children's book, but I've never been a big fan of the "grownups are strange, if only they had the innocent mind of a child" trope that this book is so enamored with. Then again, this book is around 80 years old so maybe it wasn't so much of a cliche back then?
