I recently quit my job. I have enough savings to life off for one year. I would like to read a book that is going to change the course of my life. I am 23, male, no mental illness, lead a normal life to date. I want a book that makes me go on some kind of spiritual conquest. My life could go either way at this point. I don't really care what happens. I don't want to meet a grill, I don't want kids or a family. I just want to live. Don't I sound like a hotbed for a spiritual revolution? You could be responsible for that.

I spend my days reading. I'm about to finish a novel. I thought it was Don DeLillo's Underworld, but 80% of the way through I Googled one of the characters and discovered I was actually reading Jennie Fields' Crossing Brooklyn Bridge, a romance novel. I still like it. Romance is fun, but I want a paradigm shift goddamit.
