He wrote Zorba the Greek, the book that changed my life in such profound ways I couldn’t explain. The movie is pretty great too.
Currently reading Report to Greco before sleeping, which is making my dreams feel like an absolute excavation of my soul. Highly recommend. Might hit even harder if you’re a pisces like him (and me).
This book was recommended to me, & it’s really just amazing. Shame on me for mentioning a book I haven’t finished, but it has been such an amazing journey so far.
so near and dear to my heart. this book was so impactful on my love for religious studies and myth and storytelling. it affected me so deeply the way it handles topics like man’s relation to nature, human destiny, faith, culture, and the nature of truth and story. if i could choose a book to be curriculum it would be this one. pi patel was among my first “literally me”s lol
It changed me life for the better. Read it all in one sitting. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be good but doesn’t know what good means to them yet.
