Congrats on starting and finishing the Plague. I know the plot and the basic premise and themes, but I've never gone past a few pages without my mind wandering to something else. I think it may actually be an influence to more writing and stories than it's typically attributed. If you've got time for reading something exceptionally long, I'd definitely recommend the Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian: it's a similar look at the absurd nature of death and disease told through a distinctly surreal and stylistic lens. (There's another, shorter one that comes to mind that I found randomly in the library. I can't remember the exact name at the moment. But it deals with death with similar themes and is noticeably reminiscent of Appalachian-related Cormac McCarthy.)

Being able to do anything and thinking you can do everything revert back to learning about what a thought means. Yes you can do anything, you're not going to be good at a lot of things and finding out who you are, your talents, strengths and gifts makes it a narrower field to endeavor rather than thinking everything is within your capabilities which can lead to a Schopenhauer kinda way of looking at life…lol!

Coincidentally I read the little prince recently and it was amazing like you said how much you could learn from a children's book. It felt approachable by adults but very bright eyed like a child
The plague was a book I wanted to read but needed incentive and there it is with this video
Will check out the other books too, thank you!

I'm not a big reader, but I really enjoyed the audiobook of Humankind by Rutger Bregman recently (originally called De meeste mensen deugen). In a very accessible way, he presents you with his argument for a more positive view on human nature, relying on research, real-life examples, debunking famous experiments (like the Stanford prison experiments) and pervasive narratives etc. After that, he explores how adopting those new insights might affect how we approach others around us, and ways in which we could structure society to reflect our nature better (more participatory democratic governing, less stratified education systems, more democratized workplaces, a prison system like that of Norway, etc.)
Not a fan of his idea about how hunter gatherer life was superior to that of (pre-industrial) agrarian societies, which he got from Yuval Harari, as it romanticizes it too much. I also disagree with some other details, but overall it's an interesting read.
