The Metamorphosis by Kafka, or any of his other work. It makes you think, which is exactly what good literature should do in my opinion. If you want something more casual, I suggest Witcher by Sapkowski, it has the standard fantasy settings, but the morally grey insight into human nature and politics make it feel nearly uncomfortably real. Fortunately it has good amount of intellectual humor to not get too dark. I read many books in my life but this is the only boom I have read multiple times, so that should tell you something.

RE: One book which u want to suggest all tws user have read it
Essentially identical, the authors of the game are almost exclusively books fans, and worked with sapkowski on few occasions. What that means is that the characters personalities and the overall tone of the story is same for both media. Some of the sidequests in Witcher 3 are directly taken from the books. I suggest you to play it again after you read it, the game is riddled with absurd number of book references.

How do you kill time during the quarantine ?
I am currently watching Narcos, and damm if that isn't good TV show I don't know what is. Anyway, I am approaching the end and I really don't want to study, so if you came up with any good way to kill boredom, fell free to share. It would be much appreciated.

RE: Do we live in sad world or a happy one?
Most people aren't sad or happy, but simply content. Sometimes life is better sometimes less so. You are not locked with one emotion to live all your life. People like to complain but if you think about it logically, at this point in time, we find ourselves in most prosperous and peaceful era of human history. So even if most people aren't all that happy, they sure should be.

RE: A tiny piece of me.
I like your choice of hobbies, quite relatable. But don't beat yourself about it, time you enjoyed wasting isn't wasted.

RE: How to find the love
I guess it's all matter of chance, some get lucky others don't. Not that I want to discourage anyone from trying, but most people I know met their partner randomly - at the bus stop, in a bar, during work and so on. They say hope dies last, perhaps it will happen tomorrow maybe in a year, but there is no reason to simply give up. At least that's my opinion

RE: best movie or tv series
Narcos, one of the best if not the best TV series I have seen in my life. Of course in may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it's worth to try.
