※ I rarely reread books but these are ones I do time to time. Some of them are not critically acclaimed per se, but I like them anyways. Not in any particular order -though the 8-10th can change if I find something better.
Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: I don't like Haruki but I agree with him; it's a nearly perfect book.
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse: No one can teach you enlightenment.
Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse: An allegory of Jungian union.
Your Cold Hands by Han Kang: This helped me face my eating disorder and body dysmorphia.
Greek Lessons by Han Kang: Delicately explores (like all Han Kang's books do) the power of spoken, unspoken, and no-longer spoken words.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman: Aside from the already acclaimed depiction of childhood memories, I was mesmerised by subtle blend of esotericism.
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke: I usually couldn't careless for the setting and atmosphere (except for Han Kang's book of course), but for this book they were the only thing I cared.
Circe by Madeline Miller: Will.
Bonjour Tristesse by Francoise Sagan: Francoise Sagan is genius in depicting the coexisting density and frivolity of Love.
The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephn Chbosky: I wish I knew this book when I was a teenager; it would have made my adolescence much more bearable.
