It’s beautiful and helps me re evaluate / question priorities.
Just a delightful story that reminds you to focus on what's important in life.
Again, a very touching, charming book about a little kid's world(universe?) view, told through his adventures.
when I was a child it made me reflect about society.
There's just something magical on that book which even to this day brings a lot of essence on how I understand and value life.
And for entertainment, I like profound books: The Alchemist, The Little Prince
