  •  "This question is impossible. I'll have to settle for two stories I recently re-read, with the hopes that re-reading is a recommendation in and of itself. First, The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern for it's rich incorporation and commentary on myth, folklore, and the way we live and die by storytelling. Then, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy because it illustrates how frequently folks fail to notice they're a part of a doomed Russian novel."
