What is the most thought-provoking book you have ever read?

[CheertheSecond]

As the title said, what is, among the many books, video essays, articles, etc. that you have read that you believe is the most throat-provoking one?

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness
Charles Bukowski

Excuse me, throat-provoking one?

I'm going to assume thought-provoking in the title is the correct word, and my answer is probably Depth by Marcin Podlewski, though unfortunately I've no idea where you can read it.

Also The Cathedral, I don't remember the author.

Human cake by Filthy Frank was certainly very throat-provoking

Perestroika by Mikhail Gorbachev. Sad book, you can feel equal parts desperation and hope within it. Soviet Union collapsed only a few years after the book was published. Honestly think Gorbachev was the greatest leader Russia ever had, but he inherited something that was beyond saving.

Well almost everything is thought provoking to me, so I'm just going to say Nowhere Star.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (translated by Joachim Neugroschel). It's within the top 2 on my list of favorite books and I have a physical copy of it, which I don't usually do because I read too much and it can get expensive fast.
