A few years ago, I spent most of my savings on The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, and Stars Above; I didn’t get Fairest), read them all, and loved them…though I didn’t reread them and sold them some time later.
And what was the first series you spent most of your savings on?
LoTR and Harry Potter when I was a kid.
But the one that I bought as an adult that really affected me was the Elena Ferrante My Beautiful Friend series. I still think about it every so often and it makes me cry a little. I’m a guy not in Italy and the story of two women in Naples makes me cry, if that’s not art I don’t know what is.
