Oh gosh there are loads of good ones.
For the heart: Far from the madding crowd ~Thomas Hardy
For the mind: The unbearable lightness of being ~ Milan Kundera
For the soul : An evil cradling ~ Brian Keenan
As to the 'why', Far from the Madding crowd is a story of pride and patience and all the things never said when it comes to love....and you're reading this from a very cynical guy !
The unbearable lightness of being because it explores idealism and changing political landscapes and the sad truth that nothing much changes no matter what your class; no matter what your aspirations; no matter what your beliefs.
An evil cradling is, to my mind, one of the greatest books of the modern age.
An Irish university English Lecturer is kidnapped and held hostage by a group during the Lebanese civil war of the 1990's.
He is beaten regularly by his captors but stubbornly refuses to bend to their will.
He dreams of home and little things in his possession take on new meaning as his time in capture goes on.
One of those books you read and every page leaves YOU exhausted !
Can't recommend it highly enough.
