I am simply amazed. Crime and Punishment has utterly changed my life. Before it, I had been a long-term pseudo-nihilist that felt nearly nothing outside reading. The sheer magnitude of the book, the sensations it gave me, I'm just astounded.
I couldn't even pick up and read a word of anything else for a week.
What was the most life changing book for you? I can't say this one was that for me, specifically, simply because it's not been long enough to see long-term results, but, damn.

I think some people are easy to impress, because i keep reading on lit how much these books changed their life. I wonder if it is a thing that can only happen during the teenage.

Yeah. However, I do get reassurance from some authors, especially, Marcel Proust. Harold Bloom said during a depressive period in his life he would read and reread Emerson.

I'd be depressed too if all I had at my disposal was this kind of anglo trash.

Harold Bloom has read more non-anglo books than probably everyone.
