I don't think a novel has ever given me quite the same level of feels.

>Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.

Plus this cunt's writing is next level.

Yeah do it m8. CTBC is definitely in my top 5 novels ever. And yeah some of those vintage Penguin covers are super good. The ones for The Trial and Faulkner's novels are nice.
