The Idiot by Elif Batuman

Look, this is not for everyone. But when I read this for the first time, I felt the words harmonize with my inner monologue. How should a person act? Why do people do things? What does it mean? It’s a coming of age, it’s a romance with yourself, it hits home especially if you grew up in the era where the internet was a place full of possibilities instead of a slop and trough. Give it a shot.
