The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm
4.0
Honestly would be a five except for the singular paragraph where he just says gay people don’t actually experience genuine love and moves on lol. Very very insightful and important book though it’s not worth writing off over that.
The Possibility of an Island by Michel Houellebecq
3.5
“The inanity of the world, evident in the life story of Daniel, had ceased to appear acceptable to me; I saw in it only a full place, devoid of potentialities, from which light was absent.” 335
