you guys should really lower your expectations for literature. there is no literature that will change your life in this ridiculously significant way that you describe. It's an artistic experience, that will affect your life, yes, but not one that will fucking give you salvation or whatever. You need to have a near death experience or to save a life or to fall in love, to fucking live, to actually change.

Justine by Marquis de Sade

That's not true if you find that work of literature that contains the keys to your particular mess of problems at this point in your life together in one syncretic and sensate bundle, and fully commit to it until completion.

When you hit just that right spot, there is no way to shelter yourself from the crushing reality of the change sparked in you.

I mostly agree with the anon who posted 9352105, however, I'm curious is there a certain book that is marked so significantly in your life?
