So a friend of mine recently got accepted into a relatively prestigious school for writing. They said they wanted to refresh a bit their higher level reading hoping to be better prepared when they ship off.
They also asked me to help pick out a book and read and analyze it with them over the next 6 weeks. I agreed.
This is where I need you guys' help. I'm a bit behind when it comes to reading over the past few years. Scholarly psych articles have taken most of my time and the most recent book I read(House of Leaves) is a bit too experimental to suggest, imo. So what are some good, thought provoking books that I can suggest to them? Preferably something conducive to deeper analysis but not so out there it becomes a chore to engage with.
I was thinking The Stranger by Camus as it's something I've always wanted to check out myself but that might be a bit too heavy on the philosophy.
TLDR: Help find book to read with friend please?
