I say at the moment because we change as we progress through life. I don&#8217;t mean novels that you are supposed to like because they are part of some artificial canon dictated to you by self-declared experts.

Three books that come to mind in that respect and resonate with me and which incidentally were also made into fine films withstanding the test of time are:<br \/>\nThe English Patient by Michael Ondaatje<br \/>\nDoctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak<br \/>\nRevolutionary Road by Richard Yates<br \/>\nWhat are your favoutites?
