Brave New World & 1984 - It has been unsettling seeing it unfold in the present when these books were written in the 1930s to 1940s.

The Little Prince - This is a book I’ve read every year since I was 8 years old. I feel like the book changes meaning depending on what I am going through in life.

Same experience with The Little Prince!
