I suggested Siddhartha. Her friend picked War and Peace.
Having a kid and rereading it adds a different dimension to the story.
This book has stayed with me for years. It's a quiet, deeply reflective journey about self-discovery, the search for meaning.

Same, I've read Siddhartha once a year for the past 15 years at least. The river always has something to say.
Came here to say the same. Every time I read it it has a different meaning.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
I have gifted numerous copies of the book - “Siddhartha” by Herman Hesse.
I want to re-read Siddhartha soon, after only like 8 months.
Siddhartha, is a fascinating take on advaita vedanta, Sramana, and Buddhism.

Just finished it last week, it made me revisit the idea of "What it means to have meaning in life?"
Just finished reading this and found it incredible how one book could reveal so much of myself to myself.
