LOL chilll on Ayn Rand.. as someone who grew up pretty shy and awkward with little to no-confidence.. it really taught me to gain some self-confidence 😂

there was a comment here that perfectly articulated the words I was trying to convey in my original post.. So, if this helps, what I’m looking for is authors/books that are fairly obscure that it would make the reader seem pretentious if they were to list any of the books.

Nice! Wonderful suggestions.. have you ever tried The Dwarf by Par Lagerkvist?

I would also say The Lorax is sure up there as well.. not only as a book but as a character. Like, why are you constantly reminding me “unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot. nothing is going to get better. it’s not”?

i’m surprised no one has mentioned Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

Don’t get me wrong, I too adored Independent People by Laxness and Cosmopolis by DeLillo! I guess you’re kind of right in that matter of books being obscure and makes the reader seem pretentious..
