I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

The Truce, by Mario Benedetti. I was 13 or 14, and it's the first time I cried while reading a book. I finished it seated on a park bench, I couldn't stop thinking about it, maybe I'm really afraid about old age.
