Awhile ago I downloaded several books including things like War & Peace, Sense & Sensibilities, Ulysses etc.

Some of them are quite thick, and I am wondering if I mostly did so to seem intelligent or smart on some subconscious level.

Have any of you gotten enjoyment or insight from any of these kinds of books? or is it just society and schooling that are telling me these are “good.”?

Life-changing, literally or hyperbole?

Literally for me. Might be hyperbole for you. Who knows?

I hope you don’t mind if I ask how?

Well for me the books I listed actually changed my life but people are inclined to hyperbole when it comes to literature and saying a book they just liked changed their life so I’m saying that for me and other people it really did but for some people they might just say it did. It’s a stupid joke.
