The books that made you feel like the author was speaking directly to you?
There are books you read and there are books that seem to know you specifically. Like somehow someone described your exact situation before you'd even lived it.
For me it was Man's Search for Meaning the year I was in a situation I couldn't change. The book felt less like reading and more like being spoken to.
The experience made me curious about the relationship between reader and author. The author is dead. The book is static. But somehow it's dynamic, it changes depending on when you read it, what you need, what you're facing.
I've been thinking about what it would mean to have an actual conversation with an author or character like that. Not read their words. Talk to them. Respond. Have them push back.
Which books made you feel most directly addressed? And is there an author or character you'd want to actually talk to?
e books that made you feel like the author was speaking directly to you, what were they?
