Flowers for Algernon always gets to me. The main character's journey hits a little too close to home for me

@TinyViolins what is book about and in what way does it hit too close to home?

@robertsnj It's about a man with a mental disability who wants to become 'normal', so he undergoes an experimental brain surgery that ends up giving him genius intellect.

As he gets progressively smarter, he starts analyzing his relationships and his past through a much more critical lens, and it's pretty depressing when he realizes things weren't what he thought they were
