The Golden Ass of Apuleius: The Liberation of Feminine in Man.

A Jungian dissection of the tale of a man that transforms into a donkey, and his journey of self discovery and redemption.

It gave me a whole new way of reading books (a "superpower" of sorts, lol).

Going back and reading stories I used to write as a child/teenager, I can now read between the lines and study my subconscious in ways I wasn't able to before.

Really helped with my own journey of self-discovery. Most impactful book I've read, by far.



Not a recommendation per se, but I recently finished Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr that has a rough tie in with Apuleius.
