The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

I was considering suicide as a young person. I had never read a book before. I read it in one sitting, only breaking to get some food and bathroom. It's a great story but it changed me and gave me something special. Confidence.

It's the perfect balance between whimsy, deep themes, emotion and writing techniques.
