Hello! This feels, in a way, conceited but it’s my question! I have been reading a lot lately, some very intelligent authors, with very thoughtful characters, Like Dostoevsky, Camus, Baldwin, Morrison… It does seem though these characters fall into the realm of my own binary reasoning, where i tend to agree with them on most things and, I’m not sure if the things i disagree with are based in reality… i wonder if there are books, (i like literary fiction but for this sake i would read nonfiction), that glimpse into the world that I don’t quite understand, the world of thoughtless and selfish people? To help my understanding of what the heck is going on in the world around me.
I hope this question makes sense! Thank you for reading this!
The main character of the third book of three body problem (their name is not worth remembering). Thoughtless, and also selfish in the sense that their morals are more important than the survival of the human race, literally. Whatever message the author was trying to convey, it’s the worst message a book has ever tried to shove down my throat.
I love this review of a book, i never expected to read “it’s the worst message a book has ever…” and have my brain follow it up with yep im gonna have to read this ! Haha, thanks!
