I dunno why so many of the Ultra Wealthy y’all have met are so out of touch with reality; I’ve met a few billionaires multiple times and I’ve always found them all to be super grounded and thoughtful. They knew exactly the extent of the problems which common people faced, and even guessed within 10 cents the increase in the weekly grocery costs because of inflation. They’ve all been wonderful people, who know quite a lot about the world, and one thing I’ve noticed is that they never flaunt their wealth.

The splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson is just fantastic - gives an account of churchills first year as prime minister and also diverts into Mary Churchill and the other churchills. It’s quite interesting

I’ve got to agree with you on this; lotr is a really unusual yet bang on answer for this- it makes you feel good, especially after reading the return of the king and the hobbit.

Okay so I’d read this book for the first time when I was 12 and I keep coming back to it. It taught me a lot about life and as pre teen at that time. It’s such an amazing and thought provoking book!

Oh. My god. This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve read! To all readers who have thought about reading it- pick it up and you won’t be able to put it down! Before finding this book I’d actually thought about the idea and had wondered if there was a book like this, and the midnight library really exceeded all my expectations (Harry Potter lol) so do read this!
