Chapter 1: The Power of Re-Reading
While I generally prefer fresh narratives and rapid changes, I’ve come to appreciate the profound impact of certain books. Initially, I struggled to understand those who revisited the same stories repeatedly, but my perspective shifted when I encountered books that truly transformed my outlook on life.
There are only a handful of titles I cherish enough to read multiple times, and if I were ever faced with the choice of reading just three for the rest of my life, they would undoubtedly be these.
These selections are not only beautifully crafted but have also reshaped my worldview or resonate deeply with my personal experiences. Regardless of the reasons behind my choices, each book deserves an audience as remarkable as you.
Here are the three books I would choose if limited to just these:
