The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition by Fernando Pessoa
5.0
This has sat on my "currently reading" goodreads shelf for years even though i've finished it...because in truth I will always be reading this book. Re-reading it in full, reading highlighted sections like maxims before bed, flipping to my favourite passages when I need the words to accurately describe how I feel. No other book has made me feel so unsettled and seen. Pessoa describes this book best: "I want your reading of this book to leave you with the sense of having lived through some voluptuous nightmare"
