I can't read Portuguese so I don't know how it compares to the original but the translator who did the penguin edition is apparently renowned for his ability. And from reading it myself he definitely rendered the source, however it may have sounded originally, into beautiful english prose. Would definitely recommend giving it a try.

I’m working on the premise of a book right now. I plan for it to get published but by no means will I rely on it doing so. If something comes to mind (a conversation, a theme of an event, a lesson or moral) while I’m reading or watching something then typically I will jot it down and will incorporate it into the story. I plan for the story to be quite long. I have pretty high hopes for it. It will be years in the making and even more before it’s done but here’s hoping.

Think of depression like happiness; it’s a side effect of what your actions produce. Happiness should be basked in but not your goal; you should not merely pursue happiness. Depression is the opposite as it comes and should be learned from and used as incentive to do better. If the world were a way where everything was fine and normal then it would be hard to find meaning and purpose. It would be a mundane experience. Seek fulfillment.

I'm done with Christianity, but atheism is still a gigantic cope. I started looking around online at other belief systems, and deism and animism both look especially interesting. what books should I read to investigate them + whatever else you might think is relevant?
