After watching Ever After, I found a copy of Utopia by Thomas Moore in the school library and read it. Definitely found it interesting, I don’t think it influenced a change in personality.

Any middle grade book that features a self aware character that's edgy. I've forgotten them by now, but Percy Jackson was one I liked.

The stranger by Albert camus. Really helped me understand why I felt the way I did. In a weird way, mersault helped me feel less alone in the world.

The Adrian Mole series was huge for me as a kid and then I went through a big Tom Robbins phase in my teenage years and have never been able to take anything seriously since then.
