The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
I was considering suicide as a young person. I had never read a book before. I read it in one sitting, only breaking to get some food and bathroom. It's a great story but it changed me and gave me something special. Confidence.
Not again.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
It's the perfect balance between whimsy, deep themes, emotion and writing techniques.
