Books that evoke in their reader some grade of personal growth without being complete jack shit. (self pitty-ish/John Green-ish/ Coelho-ish bullshit)
Pic related of the only author who I've actually found interesting, helpful and gifted with a great talent and domain of the language.
Dostoyevsky, I agree.
The Greeks in general, and especially the Iliad and Odyssey, have been a great help for me, particularly helping me understand amor fati.
Dostoyevsky is a huge "Life is shit, buck up and quit bitching". Something this generetaion seems to need ASAP.

You read him in the original Russian?
