Four books I keep returning to.
-
The Old Man and the Sea
It is simple on the surface but says so much about discipline, pride, and endurance.
-
The Brothers Karamazov
It goes deep on morality, faith, and responsibility without ever feeling abstract.
-
The Kite Runner
The emotional arc around guilt, loyalty, and redemption always hits hard for me.
-
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
It is practical, honest, and one of the best books I have read on creative work.
